Cable TV subscriptions and "cord cutters." Has the increasing popularity of smartphones and video streaming over the Internet affected cable and satellite TV subscriptions?

This was one of the questions of interest in a recent Pew Research Center survey (December 2015). Telephone (both landline and cell phone) interviews were conducted on a representative sample of 2,001 adults living in the United States. For this sample, 1,521 adults reported that they currently receive cable or satellite TV service at home, 180 revealed that they have never subscribed to cable/satellite TV service at home, and the remainder (300 adults) admitted that they are "cord cutters," i.e., they canceled the cable/satellite TV service. The results are summarized in the Minitab pie chart shown.
