ILet's get real traditional TV players -- streaming services like Netflix (NFLX) - Get Report are only going to grow more powerful.
"We see a lot of video being watched over the top, but as much as that's happening it's still the tip of the iceberg," Akamai (AKAM) - Get Report co-founder and CEO Dr. Tom Leighton told TheStreet. "I think there will be much more video watching over the top in the future." Leighton said Akamai hit a new traffic record in the third quarter on the back of more people watching videos on demand.
