The worldwide broadband video market saw explosive growth in 2005, according to ABI Research, and it will continue to grow rapidly through the end of the decade to over $16 bln. Both pay and ad-supported broadband video markets saw growth in excess of 100% YTY in 2005, driven by consumers’ continuing increase in broadband video usage and by content owners’ demand for alternative outlets as existing channels (cable, broadcast and DVD) mature.
