NAB 2018: OTT Services Must Differentiate Themselves to Succeed

In an increasingly crowded over-the-top video service market, consumer perception drives purchasing behavior and players must differentiate themselves in order to succeed, according to a research presentation by Parks Associates on Tuesday at NAB 2018 in Las Vegas.

It used to be that one could roll out a video service with some content and consumers would take to it, but now companies need a value proposition, Brett Sappington, senior director of research at Parks Associates, told the audience. Parks Associates is tracking 230 OTT video services, including 15 that are coming down the pipeline.
