With Connected TVs Increasing, Cable Must Adapt

Parks Associates has found that 45 percent of Western European households equipped with broadband own a smart TV. Widespread adoption of the connected TV model fits the narrative of evolving, smarter TV viewing, while spelling a major shift in the market.

Germany leads European countries in smart TV ownership, with over 50 percent of its connected households jumping on the smart TV bandwagon.

Western Europe is proving an early adopter of the emerging technology. Smart TVs and their ilk – Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Apple TV, and Roku – are poised to reshape our relationship with our television sets. Not only will users be able to use their television like a personal computer, but connected TVs allow access to users’ preferred streaming services. The cable monopoly of our screens has officially been shattered, and the service must adapt or change to keep up.
