  • The-Evolution-Of-The-OTT-TV-Market-January-2017.Pdf
    BSAC Business Briefing The Evolution of the OTT TV Market January 2017 This paper was commissioned by BSAC and presented at a BSAC Council Meeting on 13 October 2016 accompanied by a complementary presentation and discussion by Ben Keen. It was subsequently revised and published in January 2017. Cutting the pay TV cord? Over the Top (OTT) television has become a shorthand term for a range of different online video services that may circumvent existing pay TV and broadcast business models, using the Internet as a means of distributing ‘Over The Top’ of those legacy services. The context of OTT growth is a slowing global pay TV market. Whilst still the dominant business model, pay TV operators all over the world are now experiencing slowing growth rates in their core subscriber metrics. To date, North America is the only region where there are signs that the traditional pay TV sector is actually contracting in size, prompting fears that consumers are genuinely starting to ‘cut the pay TV cord’. However, the industry has justifiable concerns that ‘cord cutting’ will eventually spread to all markets around the world as OTT alternatives become more attractive. BSAC Business Briefing: The Evolution of the OTT TV Market January 2017 1 The largest European pay TV operator by subscriber count is Liberty Global, which has been building scale through a series of acquisitions. Close behind Liberty is Sky Europe, which operates in Italy and Germany as well as the UK. All of the other top ranked pay TV players in Europe are primarily known as ‘telcos’ – but most use a variety of different distribution technologies to deliver their video services to paying customers (cable, satellite, IPTV and terrestrial).
