Original Blog By T Shobhana, VP and Head, Global Marketing & Communications, Prime Focus Technologies 07 Dec 2017 Original available here: http://ow.ly/4g3c30hIdE8 When it comes to OTT programming, content is king—no matter the source or the delivery. Because of this, OTT has the potential to become a significant part of the content monetization strategy for the Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry. [bctt tweet="When it comes to OTT programming, content is king—no matter the source or the delivery - T Shobhana, Prime Focus Technologies"] To fully delve into this media phenomenon, it is important to understand exactly what OTT is, how it supports content monetization, what the future holds for OTT programming and how solutions such as those from Prime Focus Technologies are driving innovation. WHAT IS OTT? According to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, "Internet access to programming independent of a facility or network dedicated to its delivery (via, for example, cable or satellite) is the defining feature of what have been termed 'over-the-top' services." The most common examples of OTT programming are Netflix and YouTube, but smaller services including Amazon, Hulu, HBO Now and CBS All-Access are all quickly growing in popularity.

FACT SHEET: Understanding Chairman Pai’s Proposal to Dismantle Net Neutrality
November 22, 2017 Prepared by the Office of FCC Commissioner Clyburn What is Net Neutrality? Net neutrality is the concept that consumers and businesses should be able to reach the online applications and services of their choosing without interference from their broadband provider. In other words, that all data and all legal traffic that travels over the Internet should be treated equally. This has been a bipartisan bedrock principle for more than a decade. What is Commissioner Clyburn’s position on Net Neutrality? Commissioner Clyburn has been an unwavering champion of robust, bright-line net neutrality rules that protect consumers against the anti-consumer and anti-competitive practices of broadband providers. The Commissioner continues to believe that the 2015 rules adopted by the FCC are the best way to protect consumers and small businesses while promoting innovation. Is it true that Chairman Pai’s proposal would eliminate Net Neutrality? Yes.

It ignores thousands of consumer complaints and millions of individual comments that ask the FCC to save net neutrality and uphold the principles that all...
The FCC Should Not Give Broadband Providers the Keys to Your Internet Freedom
November 29, 2017 - 1:00 pm By Mignon Clyburn | Commissioner This week, millions of Americans returned to work after spending time with family and friends over the Thanksgiving holiday. Amidst the travel and meal preparations, many may have missed the "Pre-Holiday News Dump" last Wednesday when Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai released his 200 plus page proposal to dismantle the agency's open internet protections. Commonly referred to as "net neutrality," what is at stake is the ability of consumers and businesses to reach the online applications and services of their choosing without interference from their broadband provider. This has been a bipartisan bedrock principle for more than a decade, it was upheld in court last year, and has existed all while investment by broadband providers continues to grow. When I joined the FCC in 2009, as one of the agency's five Commissioners, Netflix's streaming video service had been around for just two years. Tumblr was still a relatively new player and Spotify was still two years away from launching in the U.S. These companies have seen tremendous growth over the past eight years thanks to a level playing field. Their continued success depends on an ability to...
