Connected TV Takes Center Stage in Internet of Things at Home

As live TV viewing continues its decline, so-called over-the-top video continues to grow, according to the study TV Everywhere and the New World of OTT by Parks Associates.

Global OTT video service subscription revenue will top $19 billion in four years from about $9 billion last year, according to the study.

More than half (57%) of U.S. broadband households already subscribe to an OTT video service such as Netflix or Hulu Plus. And like most things IoT related, this is a global phenomenon. Here are broadband households that also subscribe to an OTT video service:

57% -- U.S.
57% -- U.K.
36% -- Canada
29% -- Spain
24% -- Germany
While connected thermostats, lightbulbs and (hopefully not) toasters join the Internet of Things, the TV still retains center stage.

But a connected TV is much more than a TV.

Frist of all, people grew up with it so that the learning curve is non-existent. Homes with children spend on average 90% more on OTT services and digital video than homes with no children, according to Parks Associates.
