2014 Screen Futures: 40% of TVs Will Have Net Connections

In five years, almost 40% of televisions produced for the U.S. market will have at least one TV set in the home with Internet connections and services.

Media research publisher Futurescape says this will amount to 43 million U.S. television homes out of 115.9 million overall U.S. TV homes. Other research suggests that 57 million U.S. TV homes will be viewing — at some time — regular full-length TV programs from online sources on their TV sets.
