The surge in streaming music and video is having a major impact on entertainment companies; the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) reveals that streaming music overtook digital downloads in the UK last year. Meanwhile, in the US a study by the Broadcasters' Audience Research Board (BARB) shows that around a quarter of US households now subscribe to streaming video services, such as Netflix. This may be good news for Audioboom, 7digital and InternetQ, the owner of music-streaming service Akazoo.
