Why do you own a tablet?

Our consumer data is derived from New Media Measure, our syndicated survey that examines attitudes and behaviors about myriad [...]

Is this the beginning of the end for Netflix?
A few weekends ago I was looking for a (hopefully great) movie to watch online. My first destination was Netflix, but I was quickly reminded of the recent removal of Sony titles, a collection which was among its best available. After looking through what Netflix actually does have available, I decided to move on to [...]

Netflix & HBO – on a collision course?
Two stories caught my attention this morning, “Netflix CEO Reed Hastings Swears He’s Not Going to Kill HBO” and “Time Warner CEO Discusses Threat from Netflix.” In the first, Hastings from Netflix believes his company and HBO are competitive like football and baseball are competitive (i.e. not really competitive at all) and the latter, Jeff [...]

The End of the Album
I realize I’m beginning to sound like the harbinger of the music business apocalypse, between blogging about the death of the CD, and now, the end of the album. However, if you read the former article, you know that our New Media Measure data suggests the CD is far from dead. The album, however, may [...]
Is Spotify finally arriving in the U.S.?
I read in the LA Times yesterday that EMI may be near a deal with Spotify music subscription service, signifying that Spotify could finally be launching in the U.S. A year ago, I tackled the subject of whether a viable streaming service could emerge from the fray (click here for more).

The Death of the CD? Not Yet
The death of the CD has been a popular topic for years, and it’s of particular interest to me – I recently sold off my entire CD collection (about 800 of them) to a local record store.
