Shift in Boomer Habits Bodes Poorly for Traditional TV Service Providers

I haven't watched any TV since January, and when my current cable contract runs out, I'm hoping to switch to fios (newly available here) + phone. I'm in that generation, and that survey data pretty much holds true for me. High-speed Internet is what I need most.

One correction: It's MySpace that's thought to be popular with teenagers, and I don't know any friends who are on it. FaceBook started out as social networking for college students, and I know a lot of people on it. I don't go there much because it's just a lot of online goofing off. I do check LinkedIn daily, and I'd pay for an upgrade if I were looking for a new job or otherwise needed it.
