Connected is the new digital because it impacts everyone and changes everything and 2013 will be a big year in the Connected TV marketplace. CE portals must compete with HBB platforms and increasingly connected Pay TV operators. There is a new market opportunity called ‘Pay TV Lite’ and CE makers need to stabilize and rationalize their apps environments before fragmentation really hurts them. Pay TV and CE cooperation is about to move up a gear.
One of the most exciting developments in Connected TV is the use of Pay TV operator apps in place of set-top boxes. This has clear potential to deliver multi-room TV without additional STBs but some operators are using apps to avoid deploying even a primary set-top box or DVR in customer homes. We will be looking at the potential for the ‘Operator as an App’ model and any constraints on its use.
