Case study
logo
OTT services have been becoming new players in the market by replacing telecom operators in voice and data streaming (Google, Skype, Viber, WhatsApp, etc.) and actively expanding their market share in video streaming. Video industry has its own specifics: since video streams require higher network capacity than music or other data, telecom operators play significant role in building and servicing video delivery infrastructure.
We believe that cloud technology is a next step in the evolution of TV industry leading to the emergence of professional cloud service providers using innovative video delivery and content management solutions, and existence of telecom operators focused on marketing and technical support. Certainly, there will be companies consolidating all functions, however, we see great potential in professional management of video cloud solution.
