The challenge

The emergence of today’s demanding consumers puts new requirements and expectations on the TV and media experience. There are three specific areas that influence a consumer’s service experience: great content, flexibility, and a high-quality overall experience.

So, there is a need for on-demand platforms to pleasantly surprise consumers. Today 59,3% of consumers watch online video content and 17,1% watch streamed online TV program, either live or not (catch up), from TV stations.
