The report, “CDN Growth and Market Share Shifts: 2002&mndash;2006” finds that Windows Media accounted for 50.8 percent of video streams served during 2006, with Flash coming in at 21.9 percent. AOL Media Player cornered 11 percent of the market, Real got 9.3 percent, and Apple barely got on the radar with roughly 2 percent of video streams using its QuickTime format.
