The Internet Isn't Yet Ready for the Video Explosion

As more streaming services have become available, the demands on the existing Internet infrastructure have increased exponentially. In 2016, another 27 new subscription-based video streaming platforms were launched in the U.S., according to Dallas market research group Parks Associates.

And more are expected this year. Chief among them are large multi-channel streaming platforms that are essentially cable-TV online. In the coming weeks, Hulu is expected to launch a service that will compete with AT&T's (T) DirecTV Now, Dish Networks' (DISH) SlingTV and Sony's SNE PlayStation Vue.
