What is Cord Cutting


Nowadays a new trend of video streaming is revealed which is known as Cord cutting. But most people do not know about this new option of video streaming or don't know how to use it.
Cord cutting refers to the process of cutting expensive cable connections in order to change to a low-cost TV channel subscription through over-the-air (OT) free broadcast through antenna, or over-the-top (OTT) broadcast over the Internet.
Cord cutting, in a telecommunications context, is the practice of stopping a cable or satellite television service or getting rid of a landline phone. Cord cutting is a growing trend that is adversely affecting the cable industry. The main goal of cord cutting is saving money.
Netflix, Apple TV, Yupp TV, HotStar, YouTube, BigFlix, and Hulu are some of the popular broadcasting services that encourage cord cutting. The cord cutting concept received a considerable amount of recognition beginning in 2010 as more Internet solutions became available. These broadcasters have convinced millions of cable and satellite subscribers to cut their cords and change to video streaming.

Some of the advantages of cord cutting is -
  • Advertising is minimal.
  • Saves money.
  • Avoids subscription to undesired channels.
Some of the disadvantages of cord cutting is -
  • Bandwidth issues.
  • Lack of/limited live video streaming, such as live streaming of sports matches.
  • Unavailability of certain channels/programs.
