Streaming Wars: The OTT Force Awakens

The OTT video genie is more than out of the bag. It has gone viral, mushrooming globally. And traditional media has responded, launching OTT video platforms to stake a claim in the direct-to-consumer video market — and lessen the impact of Netflix’s burgeoning global footprint.

More than 25% of OTT video services in the U.S. market today launched this year, and 40% of services bowed within the last two years, according to Parks Associates. Nearly 60% of U.S. broadband households have used at least one OTT video service in the past 30 days. More than 25% of households used two or more OTT video services in the past 30 days.
