The U.S. pay-television market is passing its prime.
The number of Americans who pay for TV through cable, satellite or fiber services fell by more than a quarter of a million in 2013, the first full-year decline, according to research firm SNL Kagan. If the slide continues in the coming years, that means 2012 was the industry’s high point.
It’s not that viewers are watching less video. Online-streaming services from
Netflix Inc. (NFLX)and
Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) continue to draw more users with shows like “House of Cards,” charging fees of less than $10 a month. What’s changed is that fewer people are willing to shell out $40 a month or more for the wider menu of cable channels.
of course this applies to everyone but the coli IT cert sports gang who see anything less than $350 a month/600 sports channels in cable as 
Something other than the unreliable streaming sites?
