Latest Harris Poll Shows Continuing Changes in Voice Line, Video, Mobile Downgrades and Cord Cuttin

The latest Harris Poll survey of actions Americans have taken to save money shows consumers still are cutting back on spending on cable TV service, wireless or fixed-line voice over the last year.

Compared to October 2009, more consumers report they have reduced spending, or changed providers of,  cable TV, wireless or fixed-line voice as in October 2009.

There is some small evidence of less cutting in areas such as purchasing of generic products, brown bagging a lunch,going to the hair stylist or cutting magazine subscriptions, for example.

The latest survey suggests more consumers now have dropped landline service, compared to October 2009, a finding that would surprise very few observers, one suspects. In the mobile service area, a logical conclusion is that people are keeping service, but adopting other measures to reduce cost, such as switching plans, switching providers or moving to cheaper prepaid service.
