57% of American broadband households subscribe to a paid online video service

"Access and entertainment research from Parks Associates finds 57% of consumers in U.S. broadband households subscribe to an OTT (over-the-top) video service, such as Netflix or Hulu Plus. The research firm, which will participate at the NAB Show next week in Las Vegas, reports the average U.S. broadband household spends $9 per month on Internet video, up from $7 in 2012.
Parks Associates is partnering with NAB to host the Super Session “Constant Cravings - Using OTT to Win the Next Generation of Viewers” on Monday, April 13, 10:30 a.m. – 12 p.m., in room S222 of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The session, with executives from CBS Interactive, Vubiquity, Discovery Communications, and Parks Associates, features an in-depth discussion of the challenges, opportunities, and threats for OTT video and pay-TV providers.
"The number of hours watching video content continues to rise, exceeding 36 hours per week in 2014, with Internet video accounting for 36% of that time, or approximately 13.3 hours a week," said Brett Sappington, Director of Research, Parks Associates. "Rather than cannibalizing the consumption of broadcast, pay-TV, and packaged media content, Internet video is increasing overall consumption levels for video.""
