- jonafato 16y agoThis looks like a game of telephone. WSJ summarized a few research firms and paraphrased cable providers. Then, Gizmodo puts two images next to each other, throws in the word correlation, and acts as if it is a scientific study.

No data was given about cost of plans, so we do not even know that people are overall spending less money.
