Parks Associates research shows over 50% of U.S. broadband households now use paid over-the-top (OTT) video services, either subscription or transactional, and consumers ages 18-25 report that online video is their most important video source. 17% of U.S. broadband households recently reported that they would subscribe to HBO's new streaming-only service, HBO Go.

Amid announcements of new OTT services, it is obvious that the TV landscape is changing.
