Parks Associates today announced ARRIS, Cisco, TiVo, Microsoft, and Verizon will discuss revenue strategies and new video services in the special session “The Price of Victory: The Future for Video Services” during CONNECTIONS™, co-located with CTIA on May 20-23 in Las Vegas.
The international research firm reports 27% of U.S. broadband households regularly watch online TV shows and movies using a mobile phone or tablet, an increase from 14% at the end of 2011.
Consumer video habits continue to shift to on-demand viewing and multiscreen use. For example, 44% of U.S. tablet owners increased their time spent watching video on this device over the past year. The TV set is still the primary platform for video, but the television itself is changing, as over 50% of TV households will have a smart TV by 2017. At CONNECTIONS™, we will discuss the challenges facing pay-TV operators, including licensing and multidevice support, and analyze the best bets for the future of video services.
