A big reason for resistance to streaming is delays or buffering, with 12% of those saying they’d be more likely to stream live content if latency wasn’t a consistent issue.<br/><br/>“This year, we saw everyone from platforms to networks to franchises heavily invest in streaming technologies,” said Stefan Birrer, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of Phenix. “Even though the industry significantly advanced in 2017, claims of offering real-time capabilities are false and it’s because of major latency issues, especially at scale. ‘True-live’ has the potential to be such a key differentiator this year that original content is going to take a back seat to it, despite original content investments from tech giants like Apple and Facebook. In fact, consumers are already feeling a case of ‘content fatigue’ so platforms need to worry less about churning out a new show every week and more about providing consumers with what they want – live-streamed content that’s truly live.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.nexttv.com/blog/will-big-sports-streaming-bets-pay-417801" data-original-url="https://www.multichannel.com/blog/will-big-sports-streaming-bets-pay-417801">Related: Will Big Sports Streaming Bets Pay Off?</a><br/><br/>The top subscription choices for consumers who want to live-stream content this year, according to the study, were: Netflix (60%), YouTube (48%), Facebook (38%) and Amazon (37%). Less popular were Hulu (25%) and Twitter (12%).<br/><br/>“Right now, most platforms that provide ‘live streaming’ capabilities offer either scale or speed, not both,” Birrer said. “Yet, offering both is the only way to create a real-time experience, as well as the only way for it to be a market differentiator this year and beyond. Once achieved, providers will be in a better position to win more subscribers and reach untapped audiences.”<br/><br/>The study was conducted online by YouGov, with 1,128 adult participating Oct. 25 and 26.</p>
