Parks: OTT Now ‘Standard Source of Video’

Parks Associates research finds nearly 40% of U.S. broadband households now have at least two OTT video service subscriptions, according to a report released June 11.

The research firm notes that consumers have reached a new stage in connected entertainment where OTT is a standard source of video and viewers are more willing to experiment with multiple OTT services.

Parks Associates says it will examine this transition for OTT “from disruptor to dominance” in the industry webcast “The Lifecycle of OTT Video Services” on Tuesday, June 12, 10 a.m. CT. The webcast, sponsored by SeaChange, will assess the growth potential, strategies, and future for both existing and new video services.
