Time & Cost saving: Youngsters are tomorrow's market for TV and Internet TV. Most of them are accustomed to using internet as an important way of communication and entertainment. As long as Internet and computers can fulfill all jobs of TV, they won't bother to physically switch to TV or waste money into TV sets.
