Allay Your Fears
What’s
a TV??
• The business of video: More expansive, more industry
participants
• Technology is just an enabler: ‘Cable’, ‘Satellite’, ‘IPTV’, ‘OTT’differentiator as services will start to disappear
• Cord-cutting a myth : Viewers will switch services, not switch-off
• “TV-everywhere” is a reality: An opportunity, not a threat
• The definition of “premium” content will change

Key Takeaways from Global Trends in Pay TV
Position: TV Everywhere is a “must-have” service offering for any Pay TV provider today. End-user
device proliferation and ubiquitous connectivity are driving a demand side pull for such services. Thus,
despite business model ambiguity, the need to provide these services is mandatory
Standards: Pay TV providers are increasingly struggling to unify and streamline the multi-screen
experience and make it cohesive across all screens. This pertains to the client facing user experience to
mirror all primary screen experience to secondary screens as well as from an upstream workflow and
delivery perspective for the operator
Competition: Any tech savvy teen can publish video online – OVPs are trying to reinvent and position
themselves to be more monetization focussed as others across the value chain – analytics has become
a key area of focus
Strategy: Cloud architectures will play a key role to deploy TVE . As delivery to unmanaged devices
grows, so is the need to use the cloud to complement the traditional STB based managed device
paradigm
