This document provides an overview of a study on the future of television in 2025. It includes a complete report and PowerPoint presentation examining disruption scenarios and their impact on markets and the industry. The study predicts that linear TV will become a "lost leader" for on-demand services, tablets will become the primary screen, and networks will lose control as services move to open platforms. It was produced by IDATE, an institute that has tracked telecom, internet, and media markets for over 40 years.
1. The document compares several major OTT video services including Netflix, Amazon Prime, iTunes, Hulu, and YouTube. It discusses their positioning in the market, content catalogs, pricing models, users/usage, revenues, device availability, and international presence.
2. Content acquisition is key for OTT services given the competitive landscape. Transactional VOD services like iTunes and Amazon VOD are welcomed by studios as an additional sales channel. SVOD services must spend heavily on exclusive content through output deals to attract subscribers willing to pay monthly fees. Hulu has an advantage through content owner stakes but faces challenges as owners strike deals with pay TV providers.
3. Technical challenges include navigating the fragmentation of connected devices

Analysys Mason presentation: Why do operators partner with OTT voice providers? Stela Bokun
This document discusses why mobile operators partner with over-the-top (OTT) voice providers like Skype, WhatsApp, and Viber. It provides several reasons why operators may choose to partner with these services, including that it is a proactive way to engage with new voice models, it can help drive data usage and smartphone adoption, it may improve customer retention rates, and doing nothing risks losing more revenue to these established OTT players as they expand into voice services. The document also notes that blocking or competing directly with OTT services has generally not been effective, and that different combinations of strategies around partnership may work best for different operators depending in their specific market conditions.

Sleeping Giants: Digital Awakens TV and MediaRazorfish
Sleeping Giants: Digital Awakens TV and Media
Television has looked pretty much the same since its inception in the early 40s, give or take a few rabbit ears and a hundred pounds. But, the revolution has already begun. Recently Razorfish has been doing some significant research on the importance television plays in our lives, and what we think the fundamental shift that is taking place in TV and media, in general, will mean for advertising and marketers. As a digital agency, you might expect us to forecast the death of TV (and :30 spots), but you'd be wrong. We think TV's DNA will be alive and well, you just might not recognize it from how it looks today, and this digital impact will have major implications, not just for TV, but for media as a whole: technology, content development, distribution, advertising and brands.
The document discusses teenage media consumption habits across several platforms. It finds that while radio listening has declined due to online streaming services, television remains prominent with two-thirds of teens reporting it is on during meals. Computers are used mostly for everyday tasks and schoolwork, though social media is popular. Gaming consoles like the Wii are common and used for long periods, and voice chat has replaced phone calls. Nearly all teens have smartphones, mainly for texting, and social media websites like Facebook are visited daily.

How a traditional French TV channel could find a new growth driver following viewer’s expectation.
Next Gen User Experiences for MultiScreen ServicesChristophe Rufin
Like all things digital, TV is going through rapid transformations. However, TV is far from being dead. In this presentation, I'm talking about how to move TV to the Next-Gen leveraging multiscreen, digital and social. Illustrated with my team's most recent project at Orange: the #TVClipping social feature of the Orange TV 2nd screen app.
Television remains the primary screen for viewing, but people are increasingly engaging in "multi-screening" by using other connected devices like smartphones and tablets while watching TV. Statistics from across Europe show that multi-screening is now mainstream, with over half of viewers in several countries using a second screen. While watching TV, people use other devices both to comment about the program on social media and to find additional information, such as content related to the TV show or details about advertised brands. Advertisers have an opportunity to reach these engaged viewers across multiple screens.
Advancements in viewing technology and increased competition for eyeballs have resulted in a more fragmented environment where consumers can watch TV from a wide array of devices and access content from countless sources. Led by certain segments of the population, most notably Millennials, consumers have quickly adapted to this new environment and are drastically changing their viewing patterns at an accelerating rate. In this report, we asked more than 1,000 Americans about their TV viewing behaviors to provide context for the shifts in their consumption habits and better understand viewing audiences.
Television 2013_Digital Disruption_UOIT Innovation Conference PresentationSusan Dineen
The television industry in Canada has experienced significant changes in recent years driven by new technologies and trends. More choice and services are available to viewers through cable, satellite, IPTV and over-the-top services like Netflix. While Canadians still spend a lot of time watching TV, viewership is changing as people engage in multi-screen viewing and social media around content. Disruptive forces include Internet TV/OTT services producing original content, the rise of multi-screen experiences, and cord-cutting, though the latter remains relatively small in Canada. Broadcasters are focusing on audience engagement across multiple platforms to keep up with these changes.
1. TV is the most effective and profitable advertising medium according to the document. It delivers greater long-term revenue growth and brand value than other media.
2. TV is particularly effective at building brands because it creates strong emotional responses and memories through its audio-visual nature. TV advertisements are better liked and drive more positive brand metrics than online ads.
3. New technologies like DVRs and online streaming have increased TV viewing and engagement rather than decreased it. TV remains the dominant media for both time spent and advertising revenue.

Ericsson Technology Review: Integrated access and backhaul – a new type of wi...Ericsson
Today millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum is valued mainly because it can be used to achieve high speeds and capacities when combined with spectrum assets below 6GHz. But it can provide other benefits as well. For example, mmWave spectrum makes it possible to use a promising new wireless backhaul solution for 5G New Radio – integrated access and backhaul (IAB) – to densify networks with multi-band radio sites at street level.
This Ericsson Technology Review article explains the IAB concept at a high level, presenting its architecture and key characteristics, as well as examining its advantages and disadvantages compared with other backhaul technologies. It concludes with a presentation of the promising results of several simulations that tested IAB as a backhaul option for street sites in both urban and suburban areas.
Ericsson Technology Review: Critical IoT connectivity: Ideal for time-critica...Ericsson
Critical Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity is an emerging concept in IoT development that enables more efficient and innovative services across a wide range of industries by reliably meeting time-critical communication needs. Mobile network operators (MNOs) are in the perfect position to enable these types of time-critical services due to their ability to leverage advanced 5G networks in a systematic and cost-effective way.
This Ericsson Technology Review article explores the benefits of Critical IoT connectivity in areas such as industrial control, mobility automation, remote control and real-time media. It also provides an overview of key network technologies and architectures. It concludes with several case studies based on two deployment scenarios – wide area and local area – that illustrate how well suited 5G spectrum assets are for Critical IoT use cases.
5G New Radio has already evolved in important ways since the 3GPP standardized Release 15 in late 2018. The significant enhancements in Releases 16 and 17 are certain to play a critical role in expanding both the availability and the applicability of 5G NR in both industry and public services in the near future.
This Ericsson Technology Review article summarizes the most notable new developments in releases 16 and 17, grouped into two categories: enhancements to existing features and features that address new verticals and deployment scenarios. This analysis and our insights about the future beyond Release 17 is an important component of our work to help mobile network operators and other stakeholders better understand and plan for the many new 5G NR opportunities that are on the horizon.
Ericsson Technology Review: The future of cloud computing: Highly distributed...Ericsson
The growing interest in cloud computing scenarios that incorporate both distributed computing capabilities and heterogeneous hardware presents a significant opportunity for network operators. With a vast distributed system (the telco network) already in place, the telecom industry has a significant advantage in the transition toward distributed cloud computing.
This Ericsson Technology Review article explores the future of cloud computing from the perspective of network operators, examining how they can best manage the complexity of future cloud deployments and overcome the technical challenges. Redefining cloud to expose and optimize the use of heterogeneous resources is not straightforward, but we are confident that our use cases and proof points validate our approach and will gain traction both in the telecommunications community and beyond.
Ericsson Technology Review: Optimizing UICC modules for IoT applicationsEricsson
Commonly referred to as SIM cards, the universal integrated circuit cards (UICCs) used in all cellular devices today are in fact complex and powerful minicomputers capable of much more than most Internet of Things (IoT) applications require. Until a simpler and less costly alternative becomes available, action must be taken to ensure that the relatively high price of UICC modules does not hamper IoT growth.
This Ericsson Technology Review article presents two mid-term approaches. The first is to make use of techniques that reduce the complexity of using UICCs in IoT applications, while the second is to use the UICCs’ excess capacity for additional value generation. Those who wish to exploit the potential of the UICCs to better support IoT applications have the opportunity to use them as cryptographic storage, to run higher-layer protocol stacks and/or as supervisory entities, for example.
Mobile data traffic volumes are expected to increase by a factor of four by 2025, and 45 percent of that traffic will be carried by 5G networks. To deliver on customer expectations in this rapidly changing environment, communication service providers must overcome challenges in three key areas: building sufficient capacity, resolving operational inefficiencies through automation and artificial intelligence, and improving service differentiation. This issue of ETR magazine provides insights about how to tackle all three.
Ericsson Technology Review: 5G BSS: Evolving BSS to fit the 5G economyEricsson
The 5G network evolution has opened up an abundance of new business opportunities for communication service providers (CSPs) in verticals such as industrial automation, security, health care and automotive. In order to successfully capitalize on them, CSPs must have business support systems (BSS) that are evolved to manage complex value chains and support new business models. Optimized information models and a high degree of automation are required to handle huge numbers of devices through open interfaces.
This Ericsson Technology Review article explains how 5G-evolved BSS can help CSPs transform themselves from traditional network developers to service enablers for 5G and the Internet of Things, and ultimately to service creators with the ability to collaborate beyond telecoms and establish lucrative digital value systems.
Ericsson Technology Review: 5G migration strategy from EPS to 5G systemEricsson
For many operators, the introduction of the 5G System (5GS) to provide wide-area services in existing Evolved Packet System (EPS) deployments is a necessary step toward creating a full-service, future-proof 5GS in the longer term. The creation of a combined 4G-5G network requires careful planning and a holistic strategy, as the introduction of 5GS has significant impacts across all network domains, including the RAN, packet core, user data and policies, and services, as well as affecting devices and backend systems.
