Canadians have enthusiastically embraced mobile video having watched more than one million shows since mobile video on demand was made available in Canada less than 500 days ago.
In the month of March alone, mobile video on demand reached a record high with Canadians viewing more than 7,000 hours of content - or more than 290 hours a day – up over 1000% from 6 months ago! The most popular shows included NHL highlights, movie trailers, music videos and comedy.
