Research firm Parks Associates said Friday that 14% of U.S. broadband households plan to buy a streaming media player by mid-2016 and that, as of the third quarter of 2015, 31% of U.S. broadband households own a streaming media player, up from 27% at the beginning of the year.
"Streaming media players will be a popular gift this holiday season, especially with more competitive pricing in the market and the expansion of new OTT services" Parks analyst Barbara Kraus said in a statement.
