TV Consumers Spending More On Subscription Internet Video

TV consumers are spending more for paid, subscription Internet video -- including over-the-top TV services. Parks Associates says that for the average U.S. broadband consumer, spending has climbed nearly 30% to $9 per month from $7 a month in 2012.

The research company says nearly 60% of U.S. consumers subscribe to an OTT provider, such as Netflix, Hulu Plus or Amazon Prime Video. In addition, more than 75% of streaming media player owners have an OTT subscription.

According to Parks, nearly 50 million streaming media players will be sold worldwide in 2017. The homes with children spend on average 90% more on OTT services and digital video than homes with no children.
