Creating New Service and Bundling Opportunities “To date, DirecTV has offered “synthetic” bundles with AT&T and Verizon, whichcombine TV, Internet and phone. But those bundles aren’t integrated, requiring twotruck rolls and two separate bills. Last year only 9% of DirecTV’s customers opted forsuch a “synthetic” bundle.” Mike White, DirecTV president and CEO“AT&T sees opportunities to extend DirecTV service in other areas, too. We areplanning to expand the satellite TV service into the auto market (as a way ofentertaining kids in the back), building on ours agreement with General Motors todeliver 4G LTE to the select vehicles.” 2013-2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Cord Cutting “Nibbling at the Edges” But Not Mainstream“Cord cutting in general remains less a thing thanmany pundits would have you believe;The number cord-cutters dropped in 2014, andwas the lowest rate since 2008.” Leichtman Research Group, Mar 2015“Yes, some consumers are cutting the cord, butthey’re in the low single digits percentagewise. Amore real behavior is cord-shaving, whereconsumers reduce what they spend, rather thaneliminating it altogether.” 2013-2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.eMarketer, Dec 2014
