The research firm Parks Associates recently found Amazon making “significant gains” in the TV streaming market, as “nearly 20 percent of all U.S. broadband households now have an Amazon Prime Instant Video subscription.” That marked an average growth rate of 55 percent.

Verizon in particular just made a new arrangement with Netflix to allow Netflix streaming shows more broadband space on the Verizon network.
