A new study from ABI research says the number of people watching video content over the Internet is expected to triple to nearly 1 billion in the next five years, reports Red Herring.

The leaders in this market: Asia, where about 400 million people are forecast to view their favorite clips, shows and movies via the Web by 2012. They will make up 43 percent of viewers, says the study; North Americans are predicted to actually decline in viewership from 29 percent today to 22 percent in 2012.
