<<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%.>> The latest Sandvine figures are out. From 2H 2013 to 1H 2014, Amazon's share of downstream traffic during peak periods (North America) increased from 1.61% to 1.90% while Netflix's share increased from 31.62% to 34.21%. Perhaps with its recent HBO deal, Amazon will be able to continue its momentum and break 2%? Amazon clearly needs to spend more on content (funded by additional Prime price increases), so that it can enhance its Prime shipping (oops, video) service. online.wsj.com
