<<Despite that Amazon is likely spending $1 billion per year trying to compete with Netflix, the latest Sandvine figures indicate that Amazon's subscription VOD business is going nowhere.>> The latest Sandvine figures are out. From 1H 2013 to 2H 2013, Amazon's share of downstream traffic during peak periods (North America) increased from 1.31% to 1.61% while Netflix's share declined from 32.25% to 31.62%. ---------------------------------- allthingsd.com Netflix + YouTube = Half Your Broadband Diet NOVEMBER 11, 2013 AT 4:00 AM PT There are lots of people who want to stream Web video to your house. But odds are that if you’re watching a Web video during prime-time hours, it’s coming from one of two places: Netflix or YouTube. So says Sandvine, the broadband service company. Sandvine says that Netflix and Google’s video site now account for more than half of America’s “downstream” traffic delivered over “fixed networks” — the kind you get at home or at work — during peak hours. That comes from Sandvine’s latest traffic report, and it shows the same trend we’ve been seeing for a while: Netflix accounts for about a third of peak Web traffic in the U.S., and YouTube is coming up on 20 percent. Sandvine’s report also says that Hulu and Amazon, despite big efforts to catch up to Netflix in video delivery, are coming up short. At least if you’re counting bits.
