Things your smart phone can replace-10 (last)

10. CABLE TELEVISION
Do you stay alone and don't think it makes sense to invest on a television that is used only a couple of hours a day? Or you travel so often that paying for cable is a redundant expense? If you have a smartphone and a good data connection, you have a solution right there.There are apps that enable you to stream live television onto a handset. But while these apps are free, the services won't be. Channels will come with daily, weekly or monthly subscriptions. Also, for seamless streaming, you would need fast, uninterrupted data connectivity- ideally over a 3G or Wi-Fi network. Also, keep in mind that streaming videos consumes a lot of data. So invest in a data plan that covers this (combine the cost of cable and an Internet connection). Zenga TV, ditto TV, mimobiTV, MunduTV are some popular live streaming apps.
