LTE broadcast will transform TV (Netgem & Lantiq & Plugnsurf, OTT IPTV, broadcast telcos)

21 January, 2016

LTE broadcast will transform TV – results of a unique trial

.. Is it possible to use LTE to broadcast TV nationwide?

The answer is clearly yes, at reasonable cost, with high video quality and additional features that significantly enhance the TV experience. This has been proven in a world-first trial covering a large area. With LTE broadcast, also called eMBMS (evolved Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service), linear, traditional TV broadcasts can be extended to any kind of mobile device. It provides the flexibility to combine linear and non-linear TV, on-demand and interactive TV. Once the required enhancements to 3GPP standards for large scale implementation are in place, the joint future of broadcast and mobile broadband looks promising ...

... Mobile devices can feed TV screens

Beyond the proof of concept the trial revealed that mobile devices can easily serve as a set-top-box when casting content to a large TV set. This is supported by almost any smartphone, either via Wi-Fi or cabling. This leads to the conclusion that technological progress in TV distribution will not be as challenging as it is today when each new Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) release needs significant backing from device makers to support it in their set-top-boxes and TV sets. Smartphones have much shorter innovation-cycles and therefore will quickly provide support for any new standards. They also ensure that home TV sets can be kept up-to-date via a screencast connection to a smartphone. The smartphone can be turned into a mobile TV set, set-top-box and intelligent remote control of large TV sets all at the same time. ...

Conservé votre ancien téléviseur aprés TNT évoluer au avril 2016 (solutión: Videofutur)

Comme conserver anciens téléviseurs
aprés la norme de diffusion de la TNT va évoluer au avril 2016?

Une possible solutión, très facile:

"TNT : les anciens téléviseurs compatibles avec la Box Videofutur
Par Marie Deniaud
21 JAN 2016

En avril prochain, la norme de diffusion de la TNT va évoluer. Bonne nouvelle pour tous ceux qui sont équipés d’un téléviseur datant d’avant 2012 : ils pourront conserver leur appareil et recevoir la TNT grâce à la Box de Videofutur.

Le 5 avril 2016, le norme de la TNT va se moderniser avec la généralisation du MPEG-4 qui entraînera l’arrêt de la diffusion avec la norme MPEG-2. Conséquence pour les utilisateurs qui disposent d’un téléviseur commercialisé avant décembre 2012 : ils devront s’équiper d’un adaptateur TV.

La Box de Videofutur propose une alternative à ce problème. En effet, proposée via un abonnement à 10€/mois, cette box permettra aux foyers de conserver leur téléviseur et de recevoir les chaînes de la TNT en HD.

En prime, ces utilisateurs pourront profiter de services de télévision tels que :

8 chaînes Premium (Paramount Channel, Disney Channel, Virgin Radio TV, Game One, BBC World News, Equidia Live & Life et BET)
un accès à des milliers de contenus en replay
1000 films & programmes jeunesse inclus en VOD

un accès à un catalogue de plus de 10 000 films & séries, à la carte et en HD

Netgem created a all-in-one solution, hybrid architecture with Microsoft Azure

Increasing Agility, Saving Money, and Speeding Multi-Platform Development with the Cloud

"(...)

Benefits

By migrating infrastructure to Microsoft Azure, Netgem is saving time and money, increasing agility, and improving services.

Speeds Performance and Reduces Capital Expenditures

By switching to a pay-as-you-go model, Netgem avoids making unnecessary IT investments, easily keeps up with unpredictable demand, and provides uninterrupted services for customers. Crainic explains, “Now that we’re using Azure, we only pay for the bandwidth and CPU that we need so we’re not over- or under-buying hardware or bandwidth capacity. Our services are also consistently fast or faster than before because delivery automatically scales with demand. It’s nice not having to worry about how many customers are using our services or how much content is being served.”

Boosts Agility and Accelerates the Development of New Services

Code and infrastructure are easier to replicate in the cloud, so Netgem can now onboard new clients and add new content faster. For example, last July, Videofutur added a new subscription video on demand service (SVOD) and catalog with a large number of movies. “We used our Azure Media Services ingest-encode-encrypt-publish workflow and processed 700 movies (and their trailers) in just 10 days,” says Crainic. “We couldn’t do that without Azure because we wouldn’t have been able to scale our infrastructure or get the staff we’d need fast enough to get the same results.”

By building its hybrid architecture on Azure, Netgem has also dramatically boosted its agility. “Our ultimate goal is to deliver content to people in their homes using the smallest footprint and the lowest cost possible,” Crainic says. “With Microsoft Azure and Azure Media Services, we now have the flexible platform we need to meet demand and also rapidly evolve our offerings as fast as the industry changes.” The company’s plans include delivering more content and services to more devices inside and outside of homes.

October 07, 2014

Improves Services for Operators

Netgem operators now have an easy solution for fine-tuning offerings and even troubleshooting STBs. Crainic explains, “By deploying the Device Management Service in Azure, we allow operators to focus on managing their services and their STBs, because they don’t have to worry about performance and scalability.”

Increases Efficiency and Simplicity

IT staff are saving time with the automation capabilities of Azure Media Services and Azure Cloud Services. Crainic says, “Our catch-up-service portal has been running on Microsoft Azure for almost one year. We monitor it, but it really runs on its own with no labor on our part.” Plus, staff can use the best tool for the job without adding complexity. “With Microsoft Azure, we can develop services with Linux tools and Visual Studio, and the components just talk to each other,” says Crainic. “It’s that simple.”

What TELCOS NEED: A NEW KIND OF TV SOLUTION (see Totalplay in Mexico with netflix, or EE TV)

JANUARY 14, 2016

Telcos Need A New Kind Of TV Solution (like TelcoTV)
That Acknowledges Low Content Margins

"...EE claimed it was the most advanced TV service the UK had seen, when it was launched..."

"...despite EE TV being free (and with the mobile and broadband prices well within the ‘normal’ range in the UK, it is genuinely free), this service has been hailed for its quality..."

"...Thevenot was in charge of EE Broadband in the UK and is credited with launching EE TV for the fixed broadband and mobile operator – a service unveiled in October 2014. This has been widely acclaimed for its excellent user experience, with features that compare favourably against far bigger Pay TV operators. Sylvain transitioned his team of functional experts into Netgem TV PVX and they are running 'TV as a managed service' for EE, responsible for end-to-end ongoing product developments, content partnerships, marketing services and 24x7 television operations. Netgem views EE TV as a great example of what a future-facing IPTV service looks like and Thevenot expects more telcos to follow a similar path..."

"...Totalplay in Mexico also uses the TelcoTV platform to provide what is described as a comprehensive TV service for customers with complex behaviours yet low budgets. This service includes linear, VOD and OTT, among other things. Totalplay was one of the first Netgem customers to add Netflix (Elisa TV in Finland was another)."

Forte croissance au T4
- Visibilité améliorée mais encore un peu de brouillard
- Oddo Nextcap

CA T4 de 18.2 M€ (vs. 15.2 M€e), en croissance de 28%

Netgem publie ce matin un CA annuel supérieur à nos attentes à 78.8 M€ (vs. 75.8 M€), en croissance de 9%. Sur le seul T4, le CA progresse fortement : +28% à 18.2 M€, à comparer à notre estimation de 15.2 M€.
La montée en puissance des offres existantes et les nouveaux contrats tirent la croissance
En dépit de l’effet négatif de la perte du contrat Telstra, Netgem retrouve en 2015 la croissance de son CA, essentiellement permise par les bonnes performances au UK et par la montée en puissance des autres offres Tier2 et Tier3. Suite à un contact société, nous retiendrons les éléments suivants :

Après un T3 en croissance de 15%, Netgem poursuit son dynamisme avec un T4 en forte progression : +28%, performance qui s’explique essentiellement par : i/ un effet de base positif (CA T4 2014 en forte baisse de 39% après la perte de Telstra), ii/ la poursuite d’une bonne performance au UK, où l’offre EE TV continue de se développer, et iii/ la bonne tenue des autres offres Tier2 et Tier3, principalement au Mexique, mais aussi en Pologne, Irlande et Finlande.
Le rachat de EE par BT ne pénalise pas l’évolution de l’offre EE TV. La visibilité est améliorée sur les conséquences de ce rapprochement mais nous pensons que des doutes subsistent.
Netgem continue le développement des partenariats de contenus (50, dont 29 signés en 2015). L’offre Telco TV s’est enrichie (Netflix, Youtube, Now TV de Sky, Eurosport, National Geographic, Cartoon Network, France 24, etc) et le groupe annonce pour 2016 l’objectif de se développer dans 5 nouveaux pays vs. 14 actuellement.
L’évolution du business model vers un mode Saas (facturation proportionnelle à l’évolution de la base d’abonnés actifs) se poursuit ; selon le groupe, l’indicateur le plus pertinent à suivre à partir de 2016 sera la Marge Brute."

Videofutur fibre, retour d’expérience plutôt positive!

« le: 11 janvier 2016 »

retour d'expérience avec la fibre videofutur Bailly

"Bonjour à tous,

Voici mon petit CR sur le raccordement. Après un démarchage téléphonique mi-novembre par cet opérateur, et aillant écouter leurs discours commerciaux, j’ai creusé tous les aspects de l’abonnement avant de faire mon choix.

Mes critères de choix ont été :
- Le débit symétrique (en 200Mo), seul opérateur fibre le proposant dans ma zone,
- Les frais de raccordement 100% gratuit (sans remboursement différé ou crédit d’impôt),
- L’offre tv et SVOD supérieur à d’autres opérateurs,
- Le tarif mensuel inférieur aux autres.

Inconvénient de l’offre :
- Une succession de prestataire pour avoir le service,
- Un engagement d’un an obligatoire

Mon historique d’activation :
- 08/12 Inscription à l’offre par internet,
- 09/12 Expédition des équipements à mon domicile,
- 10/12 Prise de contact pour le raccordement par le prestataire (Covage pour mon réseau) pour le 15/12
- 11/12 Réception des équipements (routeur ZTE et box tv VideoFutur)
- 15/12 passage du tech pour le câblage, installation du boitier. Tout est dans le vert et en attente de l’activation de l’offre,
- 17/12 internet fonctionne, manque la partie SVOD du boitier TV,
- 18/12 réception du mail d’activation et tout fonctionne correctement :)

En 10 jours ma connexion était live, cela aurai même été plus cours si j’avais pris rendez-vous avec l’installateur plus rapidement.

Etant informaticien, la partie raccordement est des plus basiques (on branche tout l’électrique, le wan sur l’ONT, la tv sur le port 4 du routeur et c’est finit) mais madame Michu serait déconcerté avec les 3 prises électriques nécessaire et les câbles réseaux de partout pour avoir internet et la tv (vs les box tout en 1 des opérateurs nationaux).

Pour la partie réseau, je suis très satisfait pour le moment, j’ai bien mon 200Mo symétrique.

Pour le box tv, satisfait mais pas emballé par rapport à l’offre des opérateurs nationaux. Disons qu’elle fait le boulot, propose plus d’options que la TNT (pause, enregistrement, replay) mais bon, vue mon peu de consommation de l’offre tv, je vais rien dire :) Un regret quand même pas de CEC sur la box et obligé de switcher l’Hdmi de ma tv quand j’allume la box…

Depuis l’activation (moins d’un mois), j’ai eu une coupure de 48h (5 et 6 janvier) de service (tv et internet) la prise de contact a été rapide. Enfin par Facebook parce que par téléphone on tombe sur le sc commercial et à par nous dire qu’un technicien prendra contact avec nous d’ici 24 à 48h, nada… Après discussion avec le support technique niveau 1 de vidéo future, il a accès à la boite contact@ donc autant passer par là pour une discussion en direct.
Le problème a été régler le 6 au soir et pour moi était dû à une mauvaise affection d’ip public… Heureusement que j’avais donné le maximum d’info de mon côté pour accélérer la résolution.

Je vais arrêter la mon retour d’expérience qui, aujourd’hui, est plutôt positive. ..."

...winning OTT battle in Asia...(Viu platform vs netflix)

January 11th, 2016

Localisation and relevance key to winning OTT battle in Asia, says PCCW Media MD Janice Lee

"Localisation and relevance will be the key battleground for over-the-top service providers in the race for subscribers in Asia, the head of Hong Kong’s newly launched on-demand streaming content brand Viu has said.

"...Viu has attracted more than 500,000 downloads in less than three months after launching in its home market of Hong Kong. This reflects a “phenomenal response to the service,” Lee said.

After Singapore, the service is to launch next in Malaysia, Indonesia and India, and Lee revealed plans to introduce a bouquet of Japanese and Chinese shows to the platform as the next step in building its content arsenal.

Viu launches the week after Netflix announced it was to launch in 130 globally, including a number of key markets in Asia including entertainment hubs Korea and Japan. Netflix is on a hiring spree to market its service across the region and has hired a creative agency to produce content for its social media channels...."

The traditional TV model is changing, 2016... (EE TV, Netgem, Pay TV or Free-to-Air broadcasters)

(8 january 2016)
‘TV the Telco Way’
will be the Differentiator

for Mobile and Fixed Operators in 2016
1: THE MOBILE WILL BECOME THE PRIMARY SCREEN

2: CONTENT DISCOVERY ON THE USER’S TERMS WILL BE PARAMOUNT

3: BROADCASTERS MUST ESTABLISH NEW DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS TO REMAIN RELEVANT

4: TELCOTV WILL GAIN MOMENTUM OVER PAY TV MODELS

"(...)

With operators increasingly embracing TelcoTV-based solutions, consumers often get access to both models, making it more appealing for telecoms operators to invest and develop new hybrid solutions that reach the widest group of targets – across Free and Premium content. While some are doing this already – EE for example – telcos are still in their relative infancy in terms of market share in TV. This means that they need deliver a compelling mix of Free and Premium content: TelcoTV delivers this perfect mix offering the widest choice to customers across live and OTT On-Demand content.

The traditional TV model is changing, and now is the time for Telecoms operators to seize the opportunities available in order to differentiate themselves, and shape ‘TV the Telco way’ to develop new revenue streams and to ensure a successful 2016 and beyond."

Telstra T-Box / Bigpond: 2016 New Set Up Videos !

New!

5 january 2016:

https://www.youtube.com/user/TelstraCorp/videos

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
December 2015

"The T-Box hasn't actually been replaced.

Telstra have released the Telstra TV, however it is different from the T-Box. It doesn't have Foxtel on T-Box and it is also not a Video Recorder... They identified that less people wanted the features of the T-Box and more wanted the features of devices like the Roku, Chromecast and Apple TV.... so Telstra partnered with Roku to make the Telstra TV as a streaming device.

In addition, the changes to the Foxtel pricing set up, reducing the base package from $49 to $25 really removed the price difference between Foxtel and Foxtel on T-Box, meaning that (on the bundles at least) for pretty much the same price you get full Foxtel with the iQ Boxes, meaning you can record all TV including the Foxtel shows, and access to a greater range of channels... with the features being greater the price point being pretty much the same I know there was a lot of people who migrated to the full Foxtel since...

All in all, I guess they just decided that it wasn't viable to have a new T-Box device with the market moving away from the features and benefits that it provided..."

Netgem secures 29 new content partnerships in 2015 on its #TelcoTV Platform OTT Partnerships offer unprecedented content coverage in record time on Netgem #TelcoTV – competing with Pay-TV providers to deliver a more cost-effective and flexible model for Telcos

In order to further expand its offering to telecoms operators, Netgem has signed partnerships with some of the best known content providers, including MUBI, Netflix, Youtube, Wuaki.TV, and Sky’s Now TV. By securing these partnerships Netgem has ensured that operators are able to deliver a compelling TV and entertainment service offering to their customers that gives them a distinct advantage over their competitors – including a number of traditional Pay-TV providers.

One of Netgem’s most recent partnerships has been with online TV streaming solution Simplestream to provide the company’s TV Player Plus service that offers customers in the UK a wide range of TV and films across free and premium TV channels, including Eurosport, National Geographic and Cartoon Network.

Netgem has also signed an agreement with global media solutions provider Globecast to provide My Polish TV and Telefrance in the UK which launched on EE TV on 26th November.

“The Triple/Quad-Play telecoms market is an incredibly competitive space, with a range of service providers competing hard to maintain revenue streams and gain new customers” said Sylvain Thevenot, Managing Director of Netgem TV PVX. “By signing agreements with leading content providers on our #TelcoTV platform, we are enabling telcos to save both in terms of cost and time-to-market as they deploy engaging TV services to their customers. Operators can then focus on delivering the best customer experience, rather than having to deal with the challenges of securing and maintaining content services and building out content management infrastructure.”

A key enabler of Netgem’s success in securing these partnerships is the acclaimed #TelcoTV platform, a service that integrates Broadcast TV with IPTV and HTML 5-based OTT content to enable telecoms service providers to deliver a complete experience to their customers across TV and mobile devices. Efe Cakarel, Founder and CEO of MUBI and one of Netgem’s content partners, said: “We are really excited to have launched MUBI on EE TV through Netgem this autumn.

The partnership has gotten off to a great start, and continues to show tremendous momentum in our growth by expanding our reach to a much wider audience. We look forward bringing Netgem’s customers the best films from around the world throughout 2016.”

Netgem is continuing its drive to provision new channels, with Al Jazeera and SPI FilmBox due to be launched on the #TelcoTV platform in the near future.
