CDN Survey Examines USUK Business and Personal Viewing Habits - Streaming Media Magazine

Produced by Streaming Media magazine and Unisphere Research, both of which are owned by Information Today, Inc., the survey asked respondents to detail their personal online media viewing habits, as well as the business and technical challenges their companies face delivering online media to multiple devices on a global scale. [...] survey responses show that the combination of desktops and laptops still make up 46 percent of primary online media consumption. This finding is similar to another survey performed in mid-2014 by Unisphere, Streaming Media, and Piksel. Even though the overlap of survey respondents was less than three percent between the Akamai Technologies and Piksel surveys, the media consumption device usage was quite similar. [...] For European respondents, desktop usage was lower (15 percent) and tablet usage quite a bit higher (23 percent) than the overall average,” writes Siglin in the report. “The combination of laptop and tablet devices make up half of primary media devices, while desktops and laptops combined make up only 42 percent of total media consumption.” - Streaming Media [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
