65% Of US Broadband Consumers Use 2nd Screen

65% of US broadband households engage in at least one second-second screen activity on at least a monthly basis, according to Parks Associates.

The research company’s new report 360 View Update: Second-Screen Usage Patterns finds the most common activity is to search for information about the program being watched.

“Most consumers favor a passive second-screen experience that complements the already immersive first-screen experience versus the highly interactive apps that typified the first phase of second-screen solutions,” said Glenn Hower, research analyst, Parks Associates.
