TDG: Three-Fourths of US Broadband Households Now Have an Internet-Connected TV
According to new research from The Diffusion Group (TDG), the penetration of Internet-connected TVs among US broadband households has increased nearly 50% since 2013, from 50% to 74% at year-end 2016.
Connected-TV penetration grew 22% between 2013 and 2014, and another 15% between 2014 and 2015. Of late, however, growth has slowed to only 4%, a significant but not unexpected turn according to Michael Greeson, TDG President and Director of Research.
