Who Wants To Buy A Bundle?

Which Consumers Will Purchase Carriers' Integrated Product Offerings

by Charles S. Golvin

with Chris Charron, Sally M. Cohen, Tenley McHarg


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Despite carriers extolling the virtues of a single bill and customer service point, only 14% of US households say they are interested in so-called "triple play" bundles of voice, Internet, and TV services. What attracts users is the promise of a cut in price. But fewer than 6% of households are really up for grabs between telcos and cable operators — the remainder of those interested expresses a strong preference for one or the other only. Good news: The battle is over those who spend the most on communications and entertainment services.
