Cord Cutting Might Only Save a User About $10 a Month?

The point of video cord cutting typically is to "save money." So what potential savings might exist if a user with cable TV service quite that subscription, then signed up for a service such as Aereo, providing off-air signals, plus some content from Netflix or iTunes?


About $10 a month, says Barclays media analyst Anthony DiClemente. According to the Barclays analyst, users also have to factor in the higher costs of an unbundled broadband connection as well. 


Some might disagree. DiClemente uses a a cable TV charge of  $60 a month, which many users will find too low, substituting an $80 to $100 a month figure, instead. . In that case, a user might well save $30 a month to $50 a month for an alternative over the top approach.
