The Broadcast Bridge: What are the costs and benefits of using the technology?
As video delivery moves towards adaptive bitrate (ABR), we will see increased enablement of seamless streaming adaptations and better user experiences. Mobile Optimization technology will, apart from improving QoE, also provide Mobile operators the tool to manage and maintain a necessary cost control. TMO has in their BingeOn offering showed that applying a number of optimization features has made it possible to offer unlimited Video usage over MBB to a reasonable cost.

DTH/DTT combined with Mobile broadband provides a good alternative to full IPTV for Household consumption. Traditionally this has been a complement, primarily for rural areas, but 4G radio technology makes this a competitive alternative also in smaller cities and suburbs.
There are a plethora of commercial opportunities available from adopting a mobile-first approach to video, including personalization, mobility and targeted advertising.
