Telus bids farewell to Mediaroom with Android TV upgrade - Rethink - Rethink Research

The Faultline Podcast is proving to be the perfect teasing ground for video technology vendors, with Pierre Donath, CPO/CMO at 3 Screen Solutions (3SS), being the latest guest to dangle a customer carrot. Luckily, the German multiscreen software specialist has come good, unveiling Canadian operator Telus this week as a new Android TV front-end client. With Telus also recently swinging in content recommendations algorithms from ThinkAnalytics, deployed behind the 3Ready Product Framework from 3SS…

Optik TV lives on at Telus – out with Mediaroom, in with ... - Reth...

Faultline exclusively wrote about Canadian operator Telus taking the Verimatrix Streamkeeper product back in April this year. For that reason, a press release from the US-based content protection vendor this week initially gave little to desire. Behind the marketing smokescreen, however, lurks an update to Optik TV, the IPTV platform offered by Telus. The first thing to note is that Optik TV has outlasted its life expectancy. The long-standing Optik TV brand was expected to be ancient history by…

As simple as that – Korea's fair share debate ended by AI, integrat...

We are witnessing history. After more than three years at loggerheads, Netflix and SK Telecom have reached a landmark agreement – bringing to a head a dispute over liability for network fees and streaming service quality that has fueled calls for fundamental changes to how video is delivered over the internet. Known as the fair share debate, the impasse has ended in unusual – yet strangely familiar – circumstances. An accord has been struck between the US streaming heavyweight and the South Kore…

ActiveVideo not part of loss-leading Vantiva-CommScope CPE deal ......

The Technicolor set top business now known as Vantiva Connected Home is acquiring the former Arris set top business known as CommScope Home Networks – apparently forming a $3.6 billion annual revenue monster. Crucially, as part of the transaction, CommScope will take a 25% stake in the newly-merged CPE company – belatedly but not entirely washing its hands of TV technologies. Before we get to the meat of the deal, the first thing to point out is the misleading inclusion of this mouthwatering hea…

Harmonic masks SaaS slowdown as it prepares to cash in on video ......

Harmonic’s video business is in the shop window, confirming Faultline’s instinct from NAB 2023 – and subsequent analyses of company reports – that disruption was afoot. The US heavyweight of encoding, transcoding, and processing has triggered a strategic review to carve out and sell its video division, citing acquisition interest from a number of parties. We can think of numerous suitors for Harmonic’s famed VOS360 media processing suite, but it is likely that any deal would lead to Harmonic mak…

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), the Sony wing which brought us the PlayStation, is acquiring video deep learning specialist iSize for an undisclosed sum. With SIE a force in the gaming realm, the deal reaffirms that streaming is as much about gaming as it is about movies, TV series, and sports. Terms of the deal have not been announced, and unfortunately iSize management are contractually blocked from briefing Faultline on the intricacies of the deal. SIE management declined the offer of i…

'Increasing Streaming Costs for Consumers Act of 2023' passes into ...

Avoiding arbitrary history lessons and complaints about nomenclature, the media economy needs to be acutely aware about ramifications from a proposed bill which has parachuted into the US Senate under the pretext of the ‘Lowering Broadband Costs for Consumers Act of 2023.’ This is America’s shot at the divisive ‘fair share’ network debate. Three US senators have proposed that any $5 billion-a-year-revenue business that generates over 3% of network traffic should pay a tariff to the FCC to help f…
