Today, we are observing disruptive developments in the TV and video content delivery technology. Traditional terrestrial and cable technologies give way to the Internet which becomes number one medium for the distribution of TV and video content. Non-linear television is replacing linear TV, and the development of the Internet technology does make it possible for the consumer to use linear TV in non-linear ways, such as Catch Up, Time Shift, Start Over or Multiscreen. Multiservice operators are implementing modern service platforms which support personalized TV, and tools to collect content consumption statistics.
Points for discussion:
- Shift of the audience to non-linear TV; new ways of monetization of interactive TV.
