FAST
With so many services now offering some form of free content, FAST (free, ad-supported television) has quickly become one of the fastest growing areas of streaming. The one common factor with all FAST services and programming is the reliance on ads to generate revenue. Although FAST offers a similar experience to traditional linear television, the complete reliance on ads results in some very fundamental differences.
