The last time I checked Netflix/Amazon etc don't own any cablecos, satellite tv cos, broadband ISPs. I don't think their position is as strong as everyone hypes them up to be.
Of course your right, for the vast majority there will still be a cord of sorts involved to deliver their broadband to allow them to stream video. I think most people use the term "cord cutting" to describe the act of moving away from cable and satellite TV. It's one of these hip urban dictionary type terms used by teens and adults in their late 20's. I'm 36 and should be ashamed of myself using such terminology
