Cyberlar: @agoldfisher three stars o... Mark Suster Has Internet TV on the Brain. Should You? For investors in search of the next hot investing trend, venture capitalist Mark Suster has two words: Internet TV. Not that anyone has been paying much attention to him, Suster told a crowd at the Venture Alpha conference held yesterday in San Francisco. “I’ve walked up and down Sand Hill Road and not a single person agrees with me.” Suster thinks this “means I’m on to something.” But it’s easy to see why others might not agree, beginning with the enduring popularity of good old-fashioned TV.
According to the Nielsen Company, Americans watch 5.3 hours of television every single day, and every year, they watch just a tiny bit more than the year before. Indeed, in its latest report on video content consumption, Nielsen found that TV viewership has increased 22 minutes per month per person in the last year, and that it remains the dominant source of video content for all ages. Of course, Suster is no dummy, as anyone who reads his frequent and wildly popular blog posts can attest.
