Clock Ticking On Telletopia's Bid To Bring Local TV To Internet

“The missing piece in the over-the-top video market is local programming,” said Ren Bond, a research analyst at Parks Associates who focuses on online video. “It's the one thing that no company has managed to do consistently.”

Parks Associates estimates that 61 percent of millennials subscribe to both traditional pay TV and online video services, meaning the majority of young people still have cable. Perhaps they’re hanging on for local content. And if the clock expires on Telletopia’s master plan, even cord-cutters and cord-nevers can, for the foreseeable future, forget about watching local TV channels over the Internet through independent providers.
