[Excerpt]

Consumer Reports, part of the non-profit advocacy group Consumer Union, said that AT&T’s decision to drop ESPN 3D from its U-Verse channel lineup was further evidence that the mainstream was not interested in 3D television.

…

Consumer Reports points out that AT&T had been charging $10 a month to receive ESPN 3D, while DirecTV and Comcast carry it at no additional charge. But it adds that the high price of 3D television and glasses were the main reasons the technology is not proving popular in the home.

… According to the Consumer Electronics Association, just 1.1 million 3D TVs were sold in 2010, a number it predicts will rise by 6 percent to 1.9 million for 2011.
