What is hybrid video-on-demand (HVOD)?

VoD and live streaming has disrupted traditional television viewing to become the go-to means for on-demand content consumption. Recent data shows that almost 40% of U.S. television consumption is now streaming-based (as of autumn 2023), with cable at 30% and traditional broadcasting at 23%. In such a competitive market, what are streaming platforms doing to ensure they not only attract subscribers, but also retain revenue?

What can we expect for the future of live streaming?

As we come to the end of another year, and look ahead to the one to come, we can’t help but wonder what is in store for the future of live streaming. In this article, we explore some of the emerging trends that will further shape how we consume live content.

Is it a TKO for traditional streaming?

The recent boxing match between the legendary Mike Tyson and former YouTuber Jake Paul sparked debate and criticism for more than one reason. Millions tuned in to stream the fight on Netflix on the 15th of November 2024, which was offered by the platform at no extra cost. According to several sources, viewership peaked at around a ground-breaking 65 million concurrent streams. However, the hugely popular streaming platform evidently could not handle the traffic, and received nearly 85,000 complaints about outages and glitches that were logged before and during the fight. Netflix and other popular streaming sites are grappling with growing viewerships and the increasing demand for high QoE. Everybody wants lower latency and real-time watching, especially for such highly anticipated events. But traditional streaming strategies using CDNs are straining under the pressure. Is it a TKO for traditional streaming? And how can P2P technology, such as System73’s Edge Intelligence, offer more reliable, low latency live streams?
