Streaming and mobile have become the perfect partnership

When we think of mobile streaming, most people go straight to services that provide TV series, niche content, or music, such as Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify. It’s true that scores of people choose to stream this type of entertainment from their smartphone when not at home – but it’s not the only popular form of mobile streaming.

The gaming cohort makes up the bulk of mobile streamers by playing live games from their handheld devices, such as multiplayer live games and online live casinos. Live dealer tables allow gamers to play online blackjack on the go – along with other casino games – with a real dealer streamed from a live studio. Gamers also stream gaming content live from popular platforms such as Twitch rather than actually playing themselves. From movies to poker, live streaming is exceptionally common in 2021.

 

Why mobile streaming is bigger than ever?

A number of factors have contributed to the growing number of mobile streamers, most of which stem from improving technologies and innovation.

Five of the biggest reasons that mobiles are perfect for streaming are:

Better Mobiles

The most apparent development contributing to increased mobile streaming quality is improved mobile devices. The latest smartphones have greater streaming capabilities with impressive screen resolution and even bigger screen sizes, creating the perfect recipe for an enjoyable experience.

 

Increasing Quality Vendors

At the same time, the number of places to access content is growing. We now have more streaming services competing for your attention and subscription than ever before. From TV series and movies to content creators on YouTube and much more, nobody is short of options when it comes to quality vendors. Even Netflix is facing fiercer competition after dominating the market for so long.  There’s something for everyone!

 

Improving Internet Speed

Download speeds and internet reliability have significantly improved over the last decade. The latest development to internet speeds is 5G connectivity, a new generation of the internet that excels anything we have known in the past. With 5G and the promise of 5G city internet, streaming on the move will be smoother than ever, which will encourage us to stream from our mobiles more often.

 

Mobile Data Rolling

Mobile service providers have started introducing data rolling to their contracted customers. If you pay for so many minutes, texts, and data each month – which most of us do – then some providers are now allowing customers to roll their data over to the next month. Even rolling over small amounts of data per month can create a large databank that makes it possible to stream more without having to worry about exceeding your data allowance.

 

Commuter Times

The average commuting time has increased due to increasing population and job competition causing people to travel further to find work. As we spend longer on trains, buses and even planes, we have a tendency to reach for our mobiles and stream more content in these situations.
