Let's investigate what Craig is stubborn about now.

"The latest report from its 'Living with Digital' consumer research study
showed that 65 percent of people in the U.S., Canada, England, France, Germany
and Australia still go with live TV for their primary viewing."

So, even this much larger-than-just-US sample is already well beyond the 5% OTT
viewing that Craig was being so insistent about, just weeks ago.

Then it says:

"Of the countries polled, France was pay-TV's biggest supporter with 75 percent
of its respondents still subscribing, with the lowest numbers coming from the
U.S. and U.K., both of which sit at 59 percent."

Okay, so we have narrowed the difference to the point where one source claims
53% of TV viewing is done online, in the US, and this other one claims 41% and
rising fast.

Okay, Craig, not a huge discrepancy. Remember how insistent you were that the
number was 5%?
