Streaming media players most popular for online video in more than a fifth of broadband homes

"Streaming media players continue to stake out a growing portion of the connected home," explained Parks director of research and author of The Streaming Media Device Landscape, Barbara Kraus. "It is a rapid ascendance for streaming media players, and Roku in particular, especially considering the broad base of gaming console ownership compared to the lower penetration of streaming media devices. CE makers are expected to add more functionality to devices with the hope that the expanding usage can generate more data and increase revenue."
