Presentation: How Premium UX is a Critical Factor in the Streaming Wars

We’ve all had frustrating streaming video experiences like videos that take forever to start or apps that make you jump through hoops just to continue watching something that you previously started. In the past, broadband service providers shouldered much of the blame for poor viewing experiences, but faster home and mobile broadband speeds have alleviated those issues. Simply stated, some streaming apps are easier to use and work better than others, and this fact will help determine the success of major streaming providers.
