Consumers now Watch Online Video on TV

Just imagine what it would be like to watch online video content on your television. Well, a segment of mainstream American consumers has already moved beyond their imagination.

The under-35 adult population in the U.S. has already adopted Web-to-TV video capability, according to the latest study by In-Stat.

Over 40 percent of young adult U.S. households view Internet video on the TV at least once per month. On the upside, revenue from Web-to-TV streaming services will grow to $2.9 billion in 2013.

"Once Web-to-TV video becomes simple and convenient, mass consumer adoption will follow quite rapidly," says Keith Nissen, In-Stat analyst. "Our primary research shows that users want a variety of their consumer devices to enable a web-to-TV video experience."

In-Stat's market study found the following:

- Within five years, the number of U.S. broadband households viewing Web-to-TV content will grow to 24 million.

- Already, 29 percent of U.S. 25 to 34 year olds with game consoles use the devices to watch streaming video off the Internet.

- In five years, there will be 7.4 million U.S. broadband households that use media center PCs for streaming Web-to-TV content.

- TV networks and pay TV operators currently view online TV as additive to pay TV services, but Web-to-TV will ultimately force a complete restructuring of today’s video services.

- Video content will be optimized for broadcast or Web-to-TV based on content type.

AI-Driven Data Center Liquid Cooling Demand

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and hyperscale cloud computing is fundamentally reshaping data center infrastructure, and liquid cooling is emerging as an indispensable solution. As traditional air-cooled systems reach their physical limits, the IT industry is under pressure to adopt more efficient thermal management strategies to meet growing demands, while complying with stringent environmental regulations. Liquid Cooling Market Development The latest ABI Research analysis reveals momentum in liquid cooling adoption. Installations are forecast to quadruple between 2023 and 2030. The market will reach $3.7 billion in value by the decade's end, with a CAGR of 22 percent. The urgency behind these numbers becomes clear when examining energy metrics: liquid cooling systems demonstrate 40 percent greater energy efficiency when compared to conventional air-cooling architectures, while simultaneously enabling ~300-500 percent increases in computational density per rac...
