TV and digital video continue to collide and nothing represents that more than over-the-top (OTT). As an emerging medium, OTT has its share of challenges and opportunities - but one thing is clear, consumers are increasingly accessing video outside of traditional pay TV models. But how are they viewing OTT? And how are advertisers using it?

The Data Tsunami - Spectrum Allocation, Infrastructure Sharing and Industry C...Coleago Consulting
Chris Buist's presentation to the TMT Finance and Investment MENA Forum in Dubai, May 2014:
Mobile data traffic is doubling every two years, driven by smartphones and LTE. EBITDA will be squeezed and ROI will fall unless operators act now to increase capacity and bandwidth to respond to demand. Network sharing and industry consolidation will change the face of the industry. Coleago helps operators respond to these challenges.
Telecom operators often frame their battle "against OTT players". This is flawed - telecom operators themselves can offer OTT services, for content or communications or cloud services. The presentation characterises the evolution of telco-OTT services, as well as some of the obstacles and required skillsets. It also examines tehe emergence of WebRTC as a key enabler

White paper: Closing the mobile data revenue gap (2010)Corine Suscens
The demand for mobile data is exploding, presenting operators with a unique opportunity to generate new revenue streams and grow their business. However revenue is not growing fast enough to ensure profitability. Not only is the mobile data traffic growing much faster than revenues, but the revenue growth rate also tends to decline over the years.

Whitepaper: From Resistance to Partnership: Operators shift into monetising OTTtyntec
This tyntec-sponsored survey, based on interviews with over 60 mobile operators across global marketplace conducted by independent research company mobilesquared, shows clear evidence that there has been a significant shift in mobile operator mindset regarding OTT communications. The perception that OTT (Over-the-Top) communications is a threat has been replaced with a revenue-generating opportunity. Mobile operators are now open and receptive to partnering with OTT service providers. The research revealed that 98% of mobile operators will potentially enter into an OTT communications partnership. From the perspective of maturing OTT service providers, operators’ openness to partnership brings forth even greater opportunity as they are moving towards a revenue generation model—as opposed to just focusing on market capitalization—to prove their commercial viability.

App-Centric Operators on the Rise mobile trends_charging_report_h1_2014_lr_...Abdallah Nabulsi
As the evolution of data plans continues, unlimited data plans are becoming an offering of the past. Operators are moving away from actions that degrade QoE such as throttling Internet speed and when usage exceeds the volume cap; they simply charge the overage and maintain QoE. As tablets have proliferated during the last
two years, shared data plans have taken off (especially on LTE networks) and now come with various data sharing options. Data plans are evolving to accommodate
the different devices connecting to the mobile Internet, including tablets, dongles, and smartphones.

The telecommunications industry has changed radically in the past 10 years as data-hungry customers with smart devices consume ever more bandwidth. While many players are diversifying their revenue streams, ensuring that new services deliver healthy margins remains challenging. At the same time, over-the-top (OTT) players are also expanding the scope of their offerings, disrupting different industry verticals in the process. We will try to discuss below points :
Cartesian explores the future of customer data monetization for mobile operators, from advertising, to sophisticated customer engagement and adjacent revenue growth.
Got the message? Communication behaviour in GermanyRené C.G. Arnold
The ways we communicate change constantly. The fourth edition of our research brief on communication behaviour in Germany traces these changes and sheds light on the long-term evolution in usage patterns of communications services. So-called over-the-top (OTT) services play an increasingly important role as complementary means of communication next to traditional telecommunications services. This key result transpires from all our previous research briefs.
The present research brief differs from the previous ones as it gives rise to doubts about the infinite growth potential of WhatsApp, Instagram and similar services. With this in mind, the question of how to generate revenue from the existing users is more pressing than ever before if the providers of these services want to continue riding the wave of success. As part of their strategy, some providers may consider making their individual services interoperable in order to increase the number of addressable consumers even further. In this research brief we explore these questions and investigate how German consumers may react to some of the potential strategies to make OTT services profitable in the near future.
To this end, we conducted a representative survey of 3,184 consumers living in Germany.
Enabling the OTT Revolution: How Telecom Operators Can Stake Their ClaimFlorian Gröne
As over-the-top (OTT) companies like Netflix, Skype, and Google encroach on the telecom industry, operators need to find ways to counter the threat. That means leveraging their distinct assets and capabilities: their ubiquitous fixed and wireless networks, their millions of customers, and the data, logistics, and other services they can offer.
OTT Platforms and Their Future - Bahaa AL Zubaidi.pdfBahaa Al Zubaidi
Through this blog, Bahaa Al Zubaidi wishes to share with his audience on the basics of OTT platforms. Video streaming services have seen excellent growth during the recent pandemic when people were forced to remain at home for a long time.
