He said three SVoD leaders -– Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX), Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Hulu LLC -– are prime examples, as each has introduced new tiers or subscription options aimed at luring in new customers.

He cited its ongoing work with traditional and virtual MVPDs, as well as SVoD aggregation services such as Amazon Channels and VRV.
