Parks Associates: Streaming Media Plays Huge Role in Connected Households

Netflix, Hulu, YouTube...these are household names when it comes to providing an evening's entertainment. A new report from Parks Associates shows just how saturated these brands are, as over one in five broadband households in the United States with at least one CE device turn to a streaming media player as the primary delivery mechanism for online video.

That may not sound like much by itself, but one year ago just 12 percent of broadband households could say likewise. The number has nearly doubled in the space of a year, and that means major gains in the field. What's more, there were even some decliners in the field; connected gaming consoles and DVR lost some ground in these rankings, while smart TV systems saw a “modest” increase.
