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)."
