She says that digital activation around the Olympics is four times greater than other "TV Everywhere" events. She says that the ISP has served up over 6 million minutes to digital devices as of today. Krishnaswamy notes that consumers are watching the digital video mostly on the desktop, about two thirds, vs. about one third on mobile devices. In this interview, she says that the streaming of the Olympics will have a profound impact on future of streaming live, linear programming, both on consumer behavior and on digital strategy of cable companies.
