As more streaming services have become available, the demands on the existing Internet infrastructure have increased exponentially. In 2016, another 27 new subscription-based video streaming platforms were launched in the U.S., according to Dallas market research group Parks Associates.
And more are expected this year. Chief among them are large multi-channel streaming platforms that are essentially cable-TV online. In the coming weeks, Hulu is expected to launch a service that will compete with AT&T's (T) DirecTV Now, Dish Networks' (DISH) SlingTV and Sony's SNE PlayStation Vue.
