Over-the-Top is the future of what used to be called television.
OTT TV fundamentally changes the way multimedia content is played out and consumed. The Siemens Over-The-Top TV suite revolutionizes the distribution of media content by utilizing web-based technologies in order to create a true IPTV user experience Over-The-Top. Siemens OTT TV means Over-The-Top delivery of HD video – all through existing networkd with ultra-high expression.
OTT TV makes it possible to switch seamlessly between several devices at the same time. Thus, our OTT TV solution enables broadcasters and media content owners to tap into new customer groups and generate new revenue streams quickly. Media brands can easily leverage their existing content by finding new customers and additional sales channels. The user experience for VoD and even live TV is designed and controlled independent of network operators. In short, Siemens OTT TV realizes IPTV quality at a web TV price point.
The questions are how this solution effects business models:
-
Where are the new chances for future business models?
-
What role are broadcasters and operators faced with?
