Parks: Meeting consumer demand for TV Everywhere and OTT services

Pay-TV and OTT providers face an ongoing and expanding challenge to attract and retain consumers as the OTT video space gets crowded and consumer video habits continue to evolve. Many companies are finding it difficult to formulate business strategies given the dynamic changes in consumer habits. Several factors are keeping those usage habits in flux:

  • Regular introduction of new connected platforms and product features
  • Continued innovations in user experience
  • Changes in content availability
  • Experimentation in business models
