Nearly a fifth of pay-TV subscribers report that they have a mobile app from their service provider, up from 16% in 2014. The highest adoption was found to be among AT&T U-Verse and Verizon FiOS subscribers, at roughly 30%. Parks found that 18-25% of cable subscribers reported having an app from their provider. Only 22% of DIRECTV subscribers and 17% of DISH Network users reported having an app.
