Verizon to launch new DVR for cable TV

May 04, 2014

The research firm Parks Associates recently found Amazon making “significant gains” in the TV streaming market, as “nearly 20 percent of all U.S. broadband households now have an Amazon Prime Instant Video subscription.” That marked an average growth rate of 55 percent.

Such services are competing directly with the cable providers for viewers, although those cable providers are often the companies providing the broadband connection into the home that’s needed by Netflix, Hulu and others. Verizon in particular just made a new arrangement with Netflix to allow Netflix streaming shows more broadband space on the Verizon network.
