One-third of Americans with Internet access at home would give up television if forced to choose between television and the Internet, according to a new Arbitron/Edison Media Research Internet Study.
Additionally, "streamies" - those who have ever listened to or viewed streaming media online - are more likely to choose to give up television (41%). Streamies who listened to or viewed streaming
media in the past week were equally as willing to give up television (47%) and home Internet access (47%).
The study also found that Americans between the ages of 12 and 24 are more apt to give up
television (47%) than the Internet; where as, over two-thirds (67%) of Americans 25 years and older would rather forgo having Internet access at home than give up television.
