TV Everywhere
I N T E R N AT I O N A L
In 2015, IP Television International is
renamed TV Everywhere International to
reflect the ubiquity of TV over IP and its key
deployment to enable TV Everywhere
services.
These are services available from OTT
challengers and, increasingly, from pay-TV
incumbents anxious to prevent cord shaving
or cutting.
TV Everywhere is a new world of choice for
consumers and a whole world of challenges
for providers. As premium services are
ported from cloud CDNs to unmanaged
devices, bandwidth, workflow, multiple
streams, multiple DRMs, content security
and device reliability all become major
issues for service providers. And all in the
context of TV Everywhere provision being
free or near free to the subscriber.
How will providers and their technology
suppliers rise to the challenge? Can TV
Everywhere be developed from a service
enhancement to a profit centre? What are
the next steps for high quality, reliable TV
Everywhere provision.
TV Everywhere International is the only
journal devoted to TV Everywhere and will
be published to coincide with all the major
industry events.
