Abstract
A method and system for analyzing consumption of multimedia content provided by a multimedia content delivery network are disclosed. The multimedia content may be selected by a user using an electronic programming guide on customer premises equipment (CPE). A historical log of content selection events may be recorded. The historical log is analyzed to generate consumption statistics and consumption patterns for the user. The consumption statistics may be generated for different content types. The analysis may be performed locally on CPE or by a remote server. The consumption statistics may be compared with a user subscription for multimedia content. A consumption metric may be generated for recommending a more cost-effective subscription package to the user. Consumption data may be provided to third parties for data mining.
