Skie TV: Off-the-Shelf, Plug-n-Play OTT Solution
Over the Top (OTT) market's growth can be attributed to the rising demand for customized content. This is coupled by the increasing adoption of smart devices and greater access to higher internet speeds. The OTT platform overweighs traditional platforms like Linear TVs due to its unmatched flexibility in terms of Video on Demand (VoD) and flexibility of devices where the contents can be played. Viewers of live channels can view only what is made available by the broadcasters and the Local Operators of DTH operators when it comes to live channel broadcasts. Hence, given a choice, every operator would like to build an OTT platform as it is the only option to distribute video contents over the internet. Moreover, every Internet Service provider, small or big, is interested in packaging the services in their own brand name rather than promoting multiple brands.
