00:00 Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and Peacock have all announced price increases in recent months,
00:05 but experts say there is more where that came from.
00:07 A sales specialist at Bernstein Research, which is one of the top internet and media
00:12 research firms on Wall Street, notes that we'll be paying even more to watch shows
00:16 and movies online soon.
00:18 According to this research, a bundle subscription for the most popular streaming services went
00:23 from $76.43 a month to $94.43.
00:28 Experts say that's a 24 percent surge and it doesn't even include the recent Netflix
00:32 price increase from its password-sharing crackdown, according to Insider.
00:36 The Bernstein sales specialist noted that certain platforms would likely increase prices
00:41 sooner than others.
00:42 Those platforms are Netflix, Hulu, and Peacock.
00:45 USA Today reports that streaming services took a record 38.7 percent of our viewing
00:50 time in July, according to Nielsen.
