What have you noticed about the viewing revolution?

Entertainment consumption is no longer confined to the home. On demand services are accesible via all devices, present in hotels, aeroplanes, phones and tablets on the bus or train or tube. This is why there needs to be a measurement revolution alongside it. A smarter world of media research will mean better content, happier subscribers and fair competition.
