TV isn’t just for TV anymore. We still watch content day and night, but the access to our favorite shows doesn’t run exclusively through the living room television anymore. Tablets and smartphones grow in popularity as online streaming services develop apps that allow us to watch our favorite shows and movies on the go. A CNET study discovered that “real-time entertainment” like streaming videos from Netflix or Hulu consists of nearly 66 percent. That means more than half of all Internet consumption is some sort of video entertainment—a huge number when you think about the scale of the Web, and mobile streaming is only becoming a larger part of the picture.

Popular Alternatives to Netflix
Netflix, as you are aware, is a company that provides Internet streaming media on-demand. With over 10 million subscribers and a collection that exceeds 100,000 titles, it is the most popular source for on-demand movies, shows, and programs.
Netflix was, at one time, confined to providing service within the US, and has since gone international and now provides service across, Latin America, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America.
The service is available through the Internet as well as through US mail. Today, however, there are several alternatives to Netflix, with many such providers jostling for space for the ever increasing business of media entertainment through the Internet.
