  • When Mobile TV Meets the Internet and Social Networking by Marie-Jo
    The Future of Mobile TV: When Mobile TV meets the Internet and Social Networking By Marie-José Montpetit, Natalie Klym, and Emmanuel Blain 1 Introduction Over the last few years, online video services and telco IPTV have rocked the traditional model of television. As content delivery moves to an all-IP platform, connecting old and new providers to a growing array of increasingly personal and multi-purpose devices over fixed and mobile networks, the TV experience has become extremely versatile. Mobile TV is not immune to these upheavals, and is itself a disruptive force. In fact, it will soon make little sense to think of mobile TV as distinct from TV in general. Rather, it will be an integral part of an increasingly rich TV experience. This chapter provides a vision for the future of mobile TV as it evolves from standalone to integrated service. This shift will be examined in context of the more general transformation of television, with a focus on the recent integration of social networking. Our vision will thus build towards community-based approaches that harness the power of individuals, from their technologies to their behaviors. We begin by redefining mobile TV, and then give a brief overview of the key trends related to the television infrastructure and industry landscape. From there, we outline the mobile TV ecosystem of content, connections, and devices in more detail, and then demonstrate the growing importance of service features in this new environment, particularly in terms of integrating mobile and social TV. We would like to point out up front that many of the scenarios described in the paper are fraught with issues related to usability, technical difficulties, business models, and/or legalities.

  • Is It Time to Outsource Your TV Service?
    Is it time to outsource your TV service? By Kerry Travilla VP Technology, MobiTV and Bill Routt COO, MobiTV Is it time to outsource your TV service? Executive Summary: This paper outlines the mounting pressures pay TV providers are facing to evolve their TV service from legacy multicast QAM/IP to unicast IP. Key takeaways from this paper include highlights of the daunting capital costs pay TV providers face when making that transition internally, and potential paths that assist in taking existing TV services to the cloud, with an application- based approach that delivers a rich new set of user experiences without requiring a large infrastructure investment. Introduction Traditional pay TV operators are facing pressure from consumers, regulators, and technology trends to revamp their approach for delivering in-home viewing experiences. Making these changes can lead to large capital expenditures which can be difficult to justify with the typical margins on pay TV services. The maturation of retail “Set-Top Box (STB)” devices (AppleTV, Roku, Amazon Fire, Android TV, gaming consoles, et al) creates an opportunity for transitioning to IP delivery of TV services through a managed service (TV SaaS) approach aimed at significantly reducing capital expenditure in favor of a more profitable and scalable business model. Pressure to Change Traditional Pay TV operators continue to face pressure from consumers, regulators, over-the-top (OTT) competitors (e.g. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Showtime, HBO, Sony Vue, Sling TV and others) and new technology trends (e.g. 4K video and virtual reality) to revamp their approach to delivering in-home viewing experiences.
