OTT video services are ahead of the game against pay TV operators, broadcasters and cable networks when it comes to utilizing connected apps to deliver content to the TV, Brett Sappington, senior director of research at Parks Associates, maintains.
“Lacking a presence on a connected device is essentially ceding the market to others. As competition for video services becomes more intense, companies are adding support and enhancing their apps for connected devices,” he adds.
A new Parks associates white paper, which is sponsored by Ooyala, reviews the place of connected device apps for the monetization of video services. “Connected Apps: The New Battleground for Video Services” shows that they are now the second most used method for consumers subscribing to OTT services.
