U.S. operators of over-the-top services will generate nearly $28.8 billion in subscription and advertising revenue this year, up about 26% from 2017, according to a new report from Digital TV Research.

Not surprisingly, much of that revenue growth will come from Netflix, which is forecast to grow revenue from around $11.7 billion in 2017 to about $15.8 billion this year.
