Nearly 50 percent of video content that U.S. consumers watch on a television is on demand or time shifted. This is up from 38 percent in 2010, reflecting the rapidly changing market and move towards new digital media. In fact, a recent report from Pricewaterhouse Coopers states that OTT television streaming will grow to be a $10.1 billion segment in 2018, up from just $3.3 billion in 2013. Skyworks Solutions, Inc. is empowering the wireless networking revolution.
