More than three-quarters of US broadband households subscribe to an OTT service, far surpassing the 62% that subscribe a traditional pay-TV service via a cable or satellite provider.
The streaming market is still a relatively new entrant in the media and entertainment space, having just hit its 10-year birthday. In those 10 years, significant strides have been made in the technology and services by these providers, but this area needs to continue to innovate to maintain strong growth and positive viewer experiences.
