Editor's Notes
AP - VU are not so prominent in games consoles
AP – Instead of multiscreen expertise just say vuMedia!
AP – nice one but maybe better with fewer acronyms
AP – how would VU help with regional delivery bottlenecks like bandwidth constraints?
AP – difference between the cloud and CDNs needs to be clarified
AP – should be more VU
AP – instead of subscriber management how about CRM or analytics?
AP – “40bn online videos viewed in January” :- )
AP – added s to deliver
AP – added s to deliver
