Who Rules OTT’s Roost?

“The number of new services and continued growth for many existing services show the vitality of the OTT video services market in the U.S.,” said Brett Sappington, director of research at Parks Associates. “While Netflix holds a substantial lead, new and emerging OTT services are establishing their own place in the market.”

Newcomers have indeed made strides. Among the top 10, HBO Now debuted in April, while Sling TV, Dish’s OTT-TV service, launched on a national basis in February.
