“Pay-TV operators can now propose new interactive services, broadening the reach of their live video offers and placing ISPs in a favorable position towards third-party OTT services.” – Fabien Battini, Technicolor

The introduction of Subscription Video-on-Demand (SVoD) and Over-The-Top (OTT) services have had a strong impact on operators’ business models.
