Half Dutch pay for online video

Almost half of the 18-year-old Dutch people pay for watching movies or series through an internet service, according to figures from market researcher GfK.

On-line video replaces traditional television only for a part, but mainly makes sure that more is watched. Young people from eighteen to 34 years watch video on video daily for three hours and forty minutes. 55-plus people get up to 40 minutes a day.

Of the subscribers to a video service, 31 percent even have a subscription to multiple services. For cable operators, online video services can pose a threat. Two out of five people with a subscription to a video service saved the package that was taken at the cable. In people without a video service subscription, that is 15 percent.
