A new study from Dallas-based research firm Parks Associates has found that 20% of US broadband households (approximately 90 million homes) cancelled at least one OTT or SVOD subscription in 2015.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that subscriptions are waning—64% of households surveyed had an SVOD subscription at the end of 2015, up from 59% in 2014. But findings suggest that customers are still shopping around and experimenting with SVODs, particularly niche services like Japanese anime service Crunchyroll.
