About 37% of OTT free trials result in conversion to a paid subscription , according to new connected entertainment research by Parks Associates.
According to the research firm, more than 1/4th of households in U.S with broadband connectivity that signed up for the trail of atleast one OTT service in the previous six months and of these users, 47% subscribed to atleast one trial service upon the expiration of the free trial period.
