Some potentially bad news ahead for Netflix as Amazon’s
streaming services grows. Netflix, which still holds a commanding lead when
comparing volume of broadband traffic, is by no means in any immediate danger;
however, Amazon has more than doubled its share in the last 18 months. In
reality, the growth sounds more impressive given the relatively low Amazon
starting point; market share increased from 1.2% to 2.37%.
Rumor has it that Amazon is getting ready to release a free,
ad-supported video service separate from its current Prime service. This could
really shake things up for Netflix, which currently only offers a paid
subscription model. 2015 will be in interesting year as we watch what happens
in this relatively new space all tech giants want a piece of.
