This should prove to be a very popular topic for those many of us that use cable TV to watch television. Our cable TV bills are so expensive, with packages that include many channels that we don’t watch. And the price keeps going up each year.
DACS member Bill Saturno will explain all about “cord cutting”—stopping your cable TV subscription—and possibly saving over $1000 every year. The discussion will allow you to better understand how you can do this by adopting the lifestyle of a “cord cutter.” Learn about all the alternatives to an expensive cable subscription and be informed before leaping into this ever changing new media consumption trend.
You will need to understand your viewing habits to determine what movie, television, and video services you’ll need, and what hardware to use (streaming box, gaming console, TV, Blu-ray player) to get access to those services.
Bill has been a cord cutter for over 15 years and has stayed actively involved with all the current trends and options. He will help determine if cord cutting is right for you, explain all the choices that are out there, and provide a road map on how to navigate all the options available to put together a package that best fits you.
Bill Saturno has a passionate interest and experience in innovation, technology, sales, marketing and media.
He is president and cofounder of CT Hackerspace a 4,000 square foot volunteer community workshop (which includes a wood shop, metal shop, lecture/classroom area, library and more) located in Watertown, CT. He is a past hackerspace liaison with the Connecticut state government to provide insight and understanding on these new emerging spaces and the maker movement. He actively assists other local organizations looking to start their own makerspaces and hackerspaces.
He is also working with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to participate and help facilitate starting the Nation of Makers Organization, a national 501(c)(3) organization.
