In a recent Hub Entertainment Research survey, 59% of U.S. consumers said they'd “pay for a service to manage, use and pay for all my subscriptions in one place.”

Back in the day, your cable company would bundle video, high-speed internet and landline phone services. And when Hub recently asked several thousand U.S. consumers what they'd most like to see in a bundle, here were the top five selections:

Hub also found that Amazon’s service portfolio became more “essential” to consumers when video, music and gaming were combined in a triple play.
