video from the many online vendors like Netflix, Disney, Hulu, and many others. Final 2022 earnings reports show that this is an industry segment in crisis. Altogether, the losses for just these four video platforms were almost $11 billion in 2022. There are other big platforms like Apple, Google (YouTube), and Amazon that don't specifically report on the performance of the video streaming segment. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a class="blue" href="https://circleid.com/members/8383" title="About the Author">Doug Dawson</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 5,285</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/20221209-a-repeat-performance-for-cable-tv-3q22">A Repeat Performance for Cable TV 3Q22</a></h3> <div class="byLine">Dec 09, 2022</div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_8383.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> Traditional cable providers in the United States continue to lose cable TV customers at the same fast pace as the second quarter of the year. In the third quarter, the cable companies list 1.68 million customers after losing over 1.65 million customers in the second quarter. These numbers come from Leichtman Research Group, which compiles most of these numbers from the statistics provided to stockholders, except for Cox, which is privately held and estimated. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a class="blue" href="https://circleid.com/members/8383" title="About the Author">Doug Dawson</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 9,486</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/20220908-streaming-video-continues-to-grow">Streaming Video Continues to Grow</a></h3> <div class="byLine">Sep 08, 2022</div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_8383.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> I saw recent headlines that claim that the time people watch streaming content is now greater than all of the time spent watching content from cable companies. A deeper look at the underlying statistics shows that this isn't entirely true, but it makes for a great headline. But it's still news that the percentage of viewing done through streaming continues to grow while the number of traditional cable customers continues to plunge. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a class="blue" href="https://circleid.com/members/8383" title="About the Author">Doug Dawson</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 6,063</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/20220209-video-continues-to-drive-broadband-usage">Video Continues to Drive Broadband Usage</a></h3> <div class="byLine">Feb 09, 2022</div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_8383.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> Nielsen recently published some statistics about how we watch videos that show a continuing trend of migration from traditional video to watching video online. One of the most striking statistics is the total volume of online videos. December 2021 saw an aggregate of 183 billion minutes of online video viewing. And even that, the number is likely small since there are many uses of video on the web that are not likely counted in the total. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a class="blue" href="https://circleid.com/members/8383" title="About the Author">Doug Dawson</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 10,013</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/20210504-the-slow-death-of-satellite-tv">The Slow Death of Satellite TV?</a></h3> <div class="byLine">May 04, 2021</div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_8383.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> There have been rumors for years about merging Dish Networks and Direct TV to try to gain as much market synergy as possible for the two sinking businesses. It's hard to label these companies as failures just yet because between two companies collectively still had 21.8 million customers at the end of 2020 (DirectTV 13.0 million, Dish 8.8 million). This makes the two companies collectively the largest cable TV providers, with Comcast at 19.8 million and Charter at 16.2 million. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a class="blue" href="https://circleid.com/members/8383" title="About the Author">Doug Dawson</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 17,343</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/20201224-video-and-broadband-demand">Video and Broadband Demand</a></h3> <div class="byLine">Dec 24, 2020</div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_8383.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> One of the obvious drivers of broadband usage is online video, and a study earlier this year by the Leichtman Research Group provides insight into the continuing role of video growth in broadband usage. The company conducted a nationwide poll in the US looking at how people watch video, and the results show that Americans have embraced online for-pay video services. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a class="blue" href="https://circleid.com/members/8383" title="About the Author">Doug Dawson</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 12,314</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/20200417-cable-customers-plummet-in-2019">Cable Customers Plummet in 2019</a></h3> <div class="byLine">Apr 17, 2020</div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_8383.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> The final numbers are in for 2019 and the largest cable providers collectively lost over 5.9 million customers for the year - a loss of almost 7% of customers.

The numbers reported are for the largest cable providers, and Leichtman estimates that these companies represent 95% of all cable customers in the country. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a class="blue" href="https://circleid.com/members/8383" title="About the Author">Doug Dawson</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 7,073</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/20200327-societies-running-on-quicksand-a-critical-look-at-todays-networks">Societies Running on Quicksand: A Critical Look at Today’s Networks</a></h3> <div class="byLine">Mar 27, 2020</div> <p> The last few weeks have reinforced the importance of modern communication networks to societies. Health care providers, schools, governments, and businesses all rely on networks that enable us to connect and collaborate remotely.

In a HFC cable network, bandwidth is shared among users in the same fiber-node. Even though improvements in DOCSIS technology has allowed a substantial increase of bandwidth availability per fiber-node, a few heavy users - as well as new 4K video content - can quickly kill recently-made network investments and leave subscribers with an impression that they are not receiving the quality they deserve. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a class="blue" href="https://circleid.com/members/7829" title="About the Author">Francisco Viana</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 12,779</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/20160318_welcome_to_notflix_your_streaming_free_isp_with_the_best_qoe">Welcome to Notflix!

Is this really the case? Does it save consumers from harm... or cause harm? Netflix has reached the point of being well over 30% of Internet traffic at peak time for some ISPs. This places three costs on the ISP and its users... So for someone who isn't a streaming video user, they are paying a share of the direct costs. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a class="blue" href="https://circleid.com/members/827" title="About the Author">Martin Geddes</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 13,433</li> </ul> </div> <div class="pagination"> <strong>1</strong> <a href="https://circleid.com/topics/iptv/blogs/P10">2</a> <a href="https://circleid.com/topics/iptv/blogs/P20">3</a> <a href="https://circleid.com/topics/iptv/blogs/P10">></a> <a href="https://circleid.com/topics/iptv/blogs/P50">Last ›</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="colB"> <div class="colPad"> <!-- industry --> <h2><a href="https://circleid.com/topics/iptv/industry" class="red">Industry Updates</a></h2> <div class="postListMini"> <em>There are no postings submitted to this section yet.</em> <a href="https://circleid.com/topics/iptv/industry" class="sectionFooter red">View More</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div id="footer"> <div id="footerContent"> <div style="float:left;"> <a href="/"><img src="/images/circleid.svg" border="0" style="width:140px;opacity: 0.9;" /></a><br /> <p style="font-size:14px;padding:11px 0 15px 0;margin:0;">A World-Renowned Source for Internet Developments.
