Usage of authenticated video viewing, or TV Everywhere, reached 40 percent of U.S. pay-TV consumers in 2015, up from 22 percent in 2013, according to Parks Associates.

The Entertainment Habits on Connected CE Devices report shows the percentage of respondents watching authenticated video at least once a month is 23 percent, which both broadens and deepens the online video audience for pay-TV providers.
