The range of opportunities for consumers to access video content via IP has exploded over the last couple of years. This has been driven on the one hand by growing bandwidth, the proliferation of new IP-enabled devices including tablets, smartphones and Smart TVs. But it has also been enabled by the entry into the market of a whole range of providers of IP video services – including established pay TV operators as well as commercial and public broadcasters and new OTT aggregators.
IP video service providers have objectives that are many and varied. Some would like to extend the reach of existing services or to provide new functionality to their existing subscribers or users, while others are seeking to compete with existing providers by offering a pure-play OTT service. In a business that is still at such an early stage of growth, the range of monetisation models sometimes seems to be as broad as the number of IP video services available.
