Livestreaming video continues to be the fastest-growing category of internet video bandwidth use, and will stay that way at least through 2022, with virtual MVPDs, eSports and traditional sports driving demand, blogged nScreenMedia analyst Colin Dixon Tuesday. He said virtual MVPDs have a subscriber base of close to 9 million, with viewing times similar to those of traditional TV. More sports are delivering live games online, while major sports are beginning to license games to online providers like ESPN Plus and Dazn, he said.
