Jennifer Kent, Vice President, Research, Parks Associates is speaking at Fiber for Breakfast hosted by Fiber Broadband Association on August 11, 2021 at 10 AM EST for the presentation, "The Rise of Stand-alone Broadband and the New Home Services Bundle."

The Rise of Stand-alone Broadband and the New Home Services Bundle
With the decline of pay-TV, traditional home services bundles have steadily declined over the past seven years. As a result, the penetration of stand-alone internet service is increasing, jumping from 34% in 2017 to 42% in 2021. Service providers have relied on bundles to attract new subscribers, increase consumer loyalty (and thus lifetime value), and differentiate from competitors. With bundling in decline, service providers turn to new value-added services to play these critical roles. In this discussion, Parks Associates will discuss shifting broadband buying behaviors, the impact on service revenues, and opportunities for service providers to offer new service types to attract and retain customers.

Fiber for Breakfast is a weekly 30-minute live video discussion hosted by our President and CEO, Gary Bolton, and featuring industry thought leaders on current topics that explore fiber as the critical infrastructure for 21st century communications as well as other connectivity and workplace issues presented during these challenging times.

Patrice Samuels, Senior Analyst, Parks Associates, is speaking at TechSee's Eve Cortex Launch Event on June 22, 2021 at 10 AM CST.

During the pandemic, enterprises turned to visual assistance to help them serve customers remotely. In the process, they’ve collected a massive amount of visual data that can be leveraged to enhance their self-service offerings using the power of Computer Vision.

But hard as organizations tried, harnessing the technology was nearly impossible; high costs and labor coupled with months and years of data collection and training was prohibitive. Using visual data to train AI to recognize thousands of consumer devices - let alone teaching it how to troubleshoot and repair them - was a mountain that couldn’t be scaled.

Brett Sappington, Senior Director of Research at Parks Associates, will speak on the webinar "Positioning Sports in the Future of Pay-TV."

As cord cutting catches fire and streaming video upends the traditional market for pay-TV services, many believed that sports content – with its rabid fans and real-time appeal – would remain immune to significant digital disruption. However, based on recent trends, it appears that even our great national pastimes could fall into the great disruptor that is the internet.

Yet this market upheaval could also open up significant opportunities. In an always-connected world, how might football fans follow their favorite teams in the off season? Are there opportunities to better connect communities of baseball aficionados during key games? And would hockey enthusiasts pay extra for a virtual reality stream from box seats at the playoffs?

It’s clear that sporting events provide a fundamentally different viewing experience than, say, scripted dramas. Nonetheless, it’s also clear that sports, like just about everything else, will be affected by the world’s new digital reality.

IoT seems to be carving a broad swath across industries in its technological and business impact. Where Nest seemed to be revolutionary, it now needs to fight for market share, as competitors with new innovations abound. Where once only a few "IoT platforms" existed, now there are dozens to choose from, and the differentiating value is harder to discern. At the same time, we are seeing the tip of the iceberg of what IoT can do to transform the way we live and do business. The advent of product competition means the IoT market is getting "real." So how real are the investments? Where are venture capitalists, strategic investors and equity investors focusing attention? What do they see as the strongest areas for growth? This session will explore how money is being made in IoT, where the money is flowing, investment focus and what investors expect to see in the next 5 to 10 years.

Other participants include: Don Loheide, VP of Strategic Platforms, Turner; Don Eklund, SVP New Format Promotion, Sony Corporation of America; and Ken Goeller, Vice President, Product Strategy DeluxeOnDemand, Deluxe Entertainment Services Group.

The pay-TV market has hung its hopes for growth on a number of new display technologies over the years: HD, 3D and 4K, to name a few. Each of these technologies has be heralded as a potential major inflection point -- but few such technologies have ever lived up to the hype. Today, the newest growth contender is HDR (high dynamic range), a technology that promises to give both pay-TV and OTT viewers a greater range of color and lumosity. Meaning, whites will be whiter, blacks will be blacker, and the experience will be noticeably more vivid. Indeed, top executives from Comcast to Netflix have already trumpeted HDR as a more significant evolution of the TV experience than 4K -- and are promising HDR-capable content and services later this year. But how long will the move to HDR take? What kind of investments will service providers and vendors need to make to ensure HDR takes off? And where is the value in the in the market for both newer and established players? This webinar will probe the emerging momentum behind HDR and the potential obstacles the technology faces.

With cord-cutting concerns on the rise, TV service providers are taking steps to retain market share and reduce churn among customers. The set-top box (STB) remains the primary access point for the consumer to content through their service provider, but market developments have led to a push for virtualizing STB functions. As the technology environment improves to support scalable cloud-based functions, providers will need to deliver virtualized functions along with features and capabilities that excite, attract and retain customers.

An opportunity exists for TV service providers to create a seamless cross-platform experience that delivers content with high-quality features and functions that today’s consumers are coming to expect as we move from an emulated experience to a truly portable experience.

John Barrett, Director of Consumer Analytics, Parks Associates, will be speaking during the session "Mobile Video and the Future of Content" on Thursday, March 12, at 2:30 PM. Various studies show that more than half of companies are already making use of video – a figure that is predicted to rise as more realize the possibilities. Nielsen claims that 64 percent of marketers expect video to dominate their strategy in the near future. The success stories of videos that have gone viral are legend. A recent campaign from Volkswagen, for example, saw a trio of its videos viewed a combined 155 million times. If such numbers seem out of reach for most marketers, they at least demonstrate video’s inherent shareability. Engage viewers, and they will share the video with others. They will spend longer time on the application and more time interacting with the brand.

Glenn Hower, Research Analyst, Parks Associates will be speaking on the panel "OTT and Rights Complexities" on November 12, from 10:15 - 11:15 AM. Content deals, IP rights and royalty management is becoming increasingly complex as broadcast and distribution channels propagate and demands for the cross-leveraging of IP into new lines of business like merchandise and publishing expand. While the advent of IP is enabling the expansion of these new business lines, it also opens new vulnerabilities as zealous “anytime, anywhere” consumers find new ways to access this content outside of legitimate supply chains. The advent of IP has highlighted the opportunity content owners have in defining and guiding rights for distribution in this new windowing environment. Join us as stakeholders along the entire content distribution chain share key strategic components that enable content creators and distributors to successfully manage contracts and IP across multiple channels, reduce risk exposure, and maximize revenues for efficient IP monetization.

Hower will also be speaking in the session, "Consumer Habits in OTT Viewing" on November 12, from 2:00 - 2:30 PM. With younger consumers showing a preference for non-linear viewing, OTT providers have stepped in to fill the viewer need for premium content on an on-demand basis. OTT video services are becoming a more important source of consumer video content, but OTT services have not replaced pay-TV services as Parks Associates research shows approximately 90% of OTT subscribers also subscribe to a pay-TV service. As cord-cutting has failed to become a force thus far, the session will explore how OTT services fit into a pay-TV consumer world.

Parks Associates is supporting Monetising Digital & OTT Services Asia.

Monetising Digital & OTT Services Asia showcases the telco services and telco-OTT partnerships driving the digital world. Overcoming business model challenges, BSS/OSS integration and identifying international expansion strategies, the sister event to the successful Digital Services World Congress, is the only exclusive meeting place for operators and OTTs in the Asia Pacific region. With the OTT player here to stay, mobile network operators have woken up to the fact that co-operation is necessary, and both operators and OTTs recognise that partnerships will advantage them both. However, competition still exists and how partnerships fit in with the telco’s competing digital services, is a critical question, addressed over the two days. A combination of the operator’s network management and customer reach, and the OTT’s programming and design capabilities, will bring ROI for both parties yet the steps to getting to that profitable working relationship are still unclear. Join 120+ telecom operators, OTTs and their partners within the banking, gaming, music, content and digital media sectors to identify the winning business models, approaches and technologies needed to break down the lack of partner certainty and commitment that currently threatens the monetisation of OTT communications.
