Analyst: Nearly half OTT Subs Multiple Subscribers

Findings from research and analysis firm Parks Associates research show that 31 per cent of US broadband households have multiple OTT service subscriptions, representing nearly one-half of the 63 per cent of US broadband households subscribing to at least one OTT service.

“Parks Associates, through our OTT Video Market Tracker service, has identified the service-stacking phenomenon as an important step in the growth of the US OTT video services marketplace,” said Brett Sappington, Senior Director of Research, Parks Associates. “Consumer willingness to subscribe to multiple services provides the consumer-paid revenues necessary for continued industry growth.”
