The sports data revolution will not be televized

The Future of Sports Data report by Ably Realtime and OnePulse reveals that the sports data industry is undergoing a transformation driven by digital sports fans and new data-sharing technology. Mobile devices are becoming increasingly popular for watching sports, with streaming audiences and those watching across multiple devices rising 20%. This shift from discontinuous to continuous experience of sports has led to an increase in demand for real-time, high-quality data. The report highlights the need for data providers to improve their services to meet these expectations, focusing on speed, reliability, synchronization, connectivity, and elasticity. Additionally, innovative use of available data will be crucial for organizations to stay ahead in this rapidly changing landscape.
