OTT – Has It Found and Unlocked Its Undoubted Potential? December 1, 2020 OTT – Has It Found and Unlocked Its Undoubted Potential? Sports over-the-top (OTT) provisions have seen to be a profitable area to be a player in with OTT media revenue expected to reach 158.84 billion dollars by 2024, more than double the $67.8 billion generated in 2018. OTT growth is second only to virtual reality in the media industry. However, it is not without its challenges - whilst there are many opportunities arising in this arena, especially due to the current pandemic and the increase in content consumption this has led to, there is the overhanging question of whether this market is a positive one to be part of or if it is the offering too broad with too many subscriptions for the consumer? Will this lead to a consolidation in the market much like the cable industry of yesteryear? OTT platforms have shown positive traits, Caelum Shove said as an example on Medium ‘NBC Sports Gold… focus on functional benefits relevant only to niche sports fans. Not only is this a messaging shift, but also an organizational one. In many cases, subscription sports streaming is the first time these networks have moved into the direct-to-consumer world, forcing the firms to shift priorities, hire new departments, and build new organizational muscles’. This suggests that OTT platforms are not only delivering that extra content for fans but are also providing a boost to the economy through new jobs and revenue streams. Despite this, the proliferation of OTT platforms creates a sports battle for audiences with lead runners being the likes of Amazon Prime Video, Netflix and Hulu, DAZN, NBC, Discovery and Eleven Sports. The market consists of more and more media channels entering the market constantly - some focusing on more tailored content and others showing their breadth. Co-Founder and Managing Director of Stellwagen Ventures, Matthew Baxter says that the economics seem tough on all sides…. Do you believe that the OTT sports market is close to achieving its objectives and finding its model? .

Penney Eric Breisach General Counsel WaveDivision Holdings, LLC Breisach Cordell PLLC 401 Parkplace Center, Suite 500 5335 Wisconsin Ave., NW, Suite 440 Kirkland, WA 98033 Washington, DC 20015 (425) 896-1891 (202) 751-2701 Its Attorneys Date: December 19, 2017 SUMMARY This Petition is about the conduct of three Comcast-owned regional sports networks whose deliberate actions undermined the fundamental structure of their distribution agreements with a cable operator and then, when the operator could no longer meet minimum contractual penetration percentages, presented the operator with a Hobson’s choice: (1) restructure its services through a forced bundling scheme in a way that would make them commercially and competitively unviable; or (2) face shut-off of the services four days later. These efforts to hinder significantly or prevent the operator from providing this programming are not only prohibited by 47 U.S.C. 548(b), but are particularly egregious because they are taken against the only terrestrial competitor to Comcast’s cable systems in the areas served by the cable operator. It was only after the Comcast regional sports networks extracted a payment of approximately $2.4 million and a promise to pay even more on an ongoing basis – amounts far in excess of what would have been required by the distribution agreements, was the imminent threat to withhold the services withdrawn.
