Research
(Source: Hub 2023 Best Bundle Survey)
➢ For the first time, the average number of TV sources used by each respondent declined YOY from 7.4 in 2022 to 6.4 in 2023.
➢ The big five SVODs (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+ and HBO Max) in particular suffered subscriber declines and the proportion of those using three or more of those SVODs fell YOY.
➢ Usage of FAST channels continued to grow in 2023, particularly with households cutting the cord. 57% of respondents said they watch at least one FAST platform.

Quotable
“I think when we want to talk about balanced spectrum policy, we want to ensure that all of these access models have the spectrum to provide the throughput capacity they need and can meet demand. And I think right now, there’s a really good case to be made that we need additional spectrum allocated for these exclusive license models and so this is the model of spectrum access that our members primarily rely on to provide mobile service to your smartphone that’s available ubiquitously. This technology is in extremely high demand. We’re seeing projections of five times growth in mobile data throughput in the next five years, but we don’t really quite yet have a confirmed plan in place to see the spectrum that will be necessary to meet that level of demand.”
– CTIA Assistant VP, Policy Communications Doug Brake speaking on spectrum policy at an MMTC event Tuesday
