Fifty-five percent of US broadband households subscribe to an OTT video service, opening up new opportunities for cloud solutions, according to Parks Associates.

“Over 50% of U.S. broadband households have at least one TV series that they ‘never miss,’” explains Glenn Hower, Research Analyst, Parks Associates. “Offering multiple content options is increasingly important as more consumers turn to connected CE and mobile devices for their video, audio, and other media needs. We see considerable demand for the functions created by cloud solutions and will discuss deployment strategies in this webcast.”
