While many of those ads were streamed by big publishers including Microsoft, AOL and Google, many have been serviced by video ad networks such as Tremor Media, Adap.tv, Brightroll, YuMe, BBE and several others.
Tremor was the biggest player, serving some 477 million ads in November, comScore reports.
