Streaming Media Growth and Content Category Share: 2006 - 2010
AccuStream iMedia Research, March 2007
Streaming video once again turned in a substantial growth year in 2006, driven by an expanding library of high production value content from major networks and channels, broadband extensions of general entertainment and information network content and driven up by the appetite for streaming audio and video content by an increasingly savvy group of broadband users.
This research report provides detailed analysis of video streams delivered by major brands as well as independent destinations.
An entire section of the report is dedicated to Internet music radio, and analyzes usage from 2001 through 2006, with total listening hours provided by site, network, aggregator and service. The entire market grew by 17.9% in '06.
