Hinweis der Redaktion
- Hi there. I’m Gannon Hall and I’m the COO of Kyte.
- For those of you who aren't familiar with Kyte, we’re a cloud-based publishing platform for live and on demand video. We power online and mobile video experiences for many of the world’s leading media companies and brands.
- But recently we've been seeing increasing demand from customers to help them reach audiences in the living room, on their TVs, via the open Internet. This is over-the-top video and what I'm here to talk about. For reasons I’ll touch on, this trend is extremely disruptive to incumbent MSOs and represents a massive opportunity for those entering the space.
- OTT is quickly becoming the hottest thing since mobile, with players like Google, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Wal-Mart and just about every Consumer Electronics manufacturer battling for the future of the living room. With this much activity and competition, it's no wonder that many are calling...
- …2011 the year of the cable cut And there is some data that seems to indicate that Cable TV is in trouble. For instance...
- Several media articles have referenced a gloomy SNL Kagan report which states that in Q2 alone, over 700K subscribers abandoned Cable, and 6 out of 8 operators suffered their worst quarterly subscriber losses ever.
- But not so fast! While it's tempting to point to OTT as the key driver here, Kagan points to other factors instead: - Economic woes including low housing formation and high unemployment - Churn from paid TV promotional trials that expired
- Other studies, such as this one from Nielsen shows that the % of US cord-cutting homes remains stable, as cable & broadband homes grow
- However other studies, such as this one from Strategy Analytics shows that cord cutting is gaining serious traction, with 13% of Americans planning to cut their cable in the next 12 months. Interestingly according to this study these demographic pockets are young, educated and affluent, directly contradicting the claims of other analysts who say that cord cutters are poor and over 40.
- So there is clearly a lot of industry disagreement over the breadth, severity and causes of cord cutting. I think we can all agree that Internet TV is the way of the future. Despite the resistance of broadcasters, the widespread, cross-category industry support and growing consumer demand for Internet video services, coupled with growing consumer dissatisfaction with traditional MSOs, means the future of Television is most certainly “over the top.“ What's not clear is when this future will arrive and who will own it. This is a battle fought amongst the largest and most powerful category leaders on the planet, and will likely not be decided next year, or the year after - but rage on for several years.
- It’s a busy space with lots of companies looking to capture the market. The resulting competition creates a lot of choice for consumers, but also complexity as there doesn't seem to be any one, perfect solution. Lets briefly look at some of these categories.
- Connected TVs have been around for some time. They have heavy industry support with Best Buy promising to only sell connected TVs in 2011 and Wal-Mart promising the same by 2012. A big challenge for Connected TVs is that most consumers are unaware of them, and good portion don’t understand the value But probably the biggest issue is the lack of processing power to offer compelling services and a snappy user experience If current trends continue, most connected TVs sold will probably never be used in connected mode
- Connected STBs such as Apple TV, Boxee and Roku all have their own strengths. The big issue here is that consumers don't want to buy another box when cable provides one for free. (This has been and will continue to be TiVo's greatest challenge.) And, since none of these services provide the same level of content as Cable, most consumers aren't ready to cut the cord in favor of one or more of these solutions.
- Google TV is a category by itself, and potentially the most promising player It offers a stepping stone to OTT - building on the existing TV experience consumers are used to, as opposed to providing an alternative, pure Internet TV play The big hurdles include lack of broadcaster cooperation, resulting in blocked content, as well as complexity, as it's not clear exactly what it does and how it augments or replaces my existing cable TV experience.
- Console providers have perhaps the biggest opportunity to own the market. They have a huge existing install base But their big challenge is that only 6% of console owners are streaming video
- Next are the Content & Software Services that run on all the devices mentioned previously. Netflix is winning here. They play nice with content owners, are available on every Internet TV platform, and now account for 20% of the Internet's bandwidth usage during primetime. None however are a complete solution. Consumers need to cobble together several services to come close to the breadth of content available on cable.
- Make no mistake – The incumbents wont go down without a fight. Cable and Satellite Operators are most threatened by OTT. But they are fighting back with, among other things, TV Everywhere initiatives that allow pay TV subscribers to access content from any device. And, telecom operators are understandably worried that OTT providers will end up capturing all the value that video over IP promises, relegating them to the role of simply providing the proverbial dumb pipe.
- As we’ve seen there are still major categorical and universal challenges yet to overcome. So, what will it take for mainstream OTT adoption and widespread cable cutting to happen:
- - Processors powerful enough to offer compelling services – If connected TVs want to compete with Google TV they need systems as responsive and powerful. CE manufacturers would be smart to follow Sony’s lead and adopt the Google platform as their won.
- - Apps - can do for TV what they've done for mobile
- Great ux including ease of use and content discoverability
- Consumers are impatient. If they can’t get the content they want they’ll go elsewhere to get it, including illegal filesharing services.
- Content creators need to take advantage of interactive capabilities - create apps that extend the TV viewing experience
- OTT enablers need to provide viable biz models for content owners so they dont block content - Netflix pays for the right to stream content. Google shouldn't be surprised that content owners are blocking content.
- Advertisers need to recognize the brand value of sponsoring interactive TV experiences
- Consumer education & marketing as stated previously, most consumers who own a connected TV don’t use the internet features
- Broadcast networks need to get on board they have the content people want - they need to embrace and leverage these new delivery channels rather than block them. Learn from the music industry!
- Single platforms that have it all: ad supported, subscription content and paid VoD from 1 provider. - According to a recent Forrester report, the thing that consumers want most from their connected TVs is more video. - Google, Apple and Roku are getting there but each have holes to fill that require the cooperation of content owners to fill.
