I expect that Craig read as far as:

"Not yet in a major way. Our surveys show that while traditional TV services 
continue to lose customers, cord cutters makes up a trickle of users rather 
than a torrent."

And yet, whoa mama! It goes on to say:

"Despite the widespread availability of both paid and free 
advertising-supported streaming services, more than two-thirds of us-68 
percent-still subscribe to a cable TV or similar pay TV service."

So, 68%, nowhere close to the 90% of a couple of years ago, or the "revised" 
common wisdom figure of 85%.

That came as a surprise to me. The number seems to be elusive. Helps justify 
the recent news about the Starz channel.
