How much attention is OTT getting? The Interpret LLC’s New Media Measure syndicated report sets the number of US consumers age 18-65 that own an Internet-enabled set top box (like a Roku player, Apple TV, Slingbox, Vudu box, etc.) at 13.6%, reported a company spokesperson. Less than 14% may not sound like much, but OTT has been around for only three years. And Interpret’s numbers don’t include the millions of users watching alternate video sources like YouTube and Vimeo. March 17, 2013 at 02:09PM

Netflix now has about 30 million streaming subscribers worldwide, more than 25 million in the United States, in addition to about 8 million people—admittedly dwindling daily—who still pay to get DVDs in the mail. At $7.99 a month, that’s about $3.6 billion a year rolling in. Nearly a third of all U.S. Internet streaming traffic in the evening comes through Netflix. (YouTube accounts for 13 percent, Facebook less than 2 percent.) February 07, 2013 at 02:26PM

After crunching the numbers, the Atlantic Wire’s Rebecca Greenfield notes that Netflix will need an additional 520,000 subscribers to cover the $100 millon cost of the project — not a significant increase, percentage-wise, to its existing 33 million userbase. Netflix’s plan is to roll out at least five new shows a year, meaning they’ll realistically need a 10 percent increase in users to cover costs. February 04, 2013 at 10:19PM

People often forgot why they went to cable TV in the first place. Initially the cable system was called a “community antenna” designed to give people great reception. The newer all-digital reception is so superior to the old analog system that the public will realize that it can abandon the cable and go back to its roots. October 08, 2012 at 09:42AM

we’re online at the same time we’re watching TV. Between 60-70% of people, when they’re watching TV, also have a second screen device, such as a laptop, an iPad, or a mobile device.” September 09, 2012 at 06:23PM

Consider it a race: in addition to HuffPo Live, one can now watch is Sean Parker and Sean Fanning’s Airtime, an attempt to match the video feeds of like-minded strangers while cleaning up the penis wavers who electrified the world on Chat Roulette. There is YouTube – already seeming like a hoary first generation effort, one stubbornly shunned by advertisers – and its efforts to create a more professional premium version that will be embraced by Madison Avenue. There’s also Viddy, a sort of Instagram of video, Winkball, mostly a b-to-b platform, and Just Sayin’, a Twitter-like mobile platform for video and audio. August 28, 2012 at 10:47AM
