The viewing of video content on the internet is growing by around a third each year in the Czech Republic.
At the same time, according to the national transmission company CRA, the volume of transferred data is also growing at the same rate.
CRA provides the infrastructure to broadcasters such as Prima and Nova, and the publishing group Mafra, to deliver OTT services. It also handles the streaming of sports events for Livesports, which serves over 30 countries.
Commenting on the growth, CRA CEO Miloš Mastník said: “The increase in the consumption of video content is a stable trend that we have been observing for several years. The big accelerator was the Covid 19 pandemic, since then the volume of transferred data has been continuously increasing. This is evidenced by the increase in the production of video content and greater interest in it, people are spending more and more time watching it”.
