35% US broadband homes regularly watch UGC

Parks Associates has published OTT research showing nearly 35 per cent of US broadband households watch user-generated content (UGC) online, on sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion, more than ten days per month. Three-quarters of US broadband households access this content at least once per month.

The research comes from one of three recently released research deliverables by Parks Associates that examine consumer demand for personalised services, entertainment and app strategies, and the impact of OTT and user-generated content on video production and distribution.
