Escaping From the Multi-Screen Money Pit

Date: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 - 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM BST
Sponsor: Deluxe Digital Distribution
Host: Alan Breznick, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading
Featured Speaker: Chris Rittler, Senior Vice President, Deluxe Digital Distribution

Four years after Comcast and Time Warner Inc. unveiled the first TV Everywhere venture, the momentum behind the concept is climbing steadily as cable TV operators, telcos, satellite TV providers, Web video distributors and other providers plunge into the market with fresh or expanded multi-screen offerings. But, faced with the cost and complexity of adjusting the bandwidth resolution for every format, controlling the video feed quality for every screen, adapting the programming for every device, and even upgrading the video transmission from analog to digital, service providers have been unable to make much money off multi-screen video. Instead, without a solid set of technical standards to rely on, providers have mainly thrown good money after bad, spending heavily to adapt, transcode and re-package the same content again and again. Plus, providers have struggled to bring the vast libraries of available on-demand content to market and extend their reach to all the new devices.

With bountiful video content the key to competing with such major OTT players as Netflix and Hulu, service providers must find ways to tap into that content, boost subscriber stickiness and encourage customers to engage more in their brands and services. In this Webinar, we will explore the opportunities offered by multi-screen video, examine the challenges that providers face and suggest ways they can overcome these challenges, streamline their operations and cut costs.

Sponsor: Aricent and Cisco
Host: Alan Breznick, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading
Featured Speakers: Gopi Mohan, Assistant Vice President – Technology, Aricent; Jared Headley, Senior Director, Small Cell Solutions, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Even as four major U.S. MSOs team with Verizon Wireless to deliver advanced wireless broadband services, cable operators are rolling out ambitious plans to offer Wi-Fi service throughout the U.S. and Canada. Most major North American MSOs are now deploying thousands of Wi-Fi hotspots in their service footprints. At the same time, mobile providers are exploring ways to use Wi-Fi networks to offload data from their overburdened cellular networks. The limited availability of 3G/4G bandwidth is one prime reason why mobile carriers are moving to Wi-Fi to provide their customers with uninterrupted service. In this webinar, we will examine why service providers and cable operators are so bullish on Wi-Fi, what benefits they hope to gain, which areas they’re targeting and what kinds of challenges they face.
