OTT Technologies Continue To Take Hold

According to research from Parks Associates, about half of the 63% of broadband households that subscribe to OTT services subscribe to more than one. The most popular “service-stack” is to subscribe to both Amazon Home Video and Netflix; 12% of broadband subscribers have this combination.

“There are service stackers willing to experiment with different OTT combinations as new services arise,” stated Brett Sappington, senior director of research at Parks Associates. “The regular release of high-quality original content, such as The Grand Tour (Amazon) and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life (Netflix), ensures the large OTT players will remain a core, consistent subscription among service-stacking households.”
