OVERVIEW OF THE OVER-THE-TOP TV MARKET
Definitions
Over-the-Top TV (OTT TV): delivery of web video content directly to TV sets.
IPTV (Internet Protocol TV): consists of packaged Pay-TV offers similar to those on satellite and cable but offered over an Internet connection.
Catch-up TV: online services from TV broadcasters or TV operators that allow users to “catch- up” on TV series on demand.
Transaction Video-on-Demand (T-VoD): a service that allows users to rent films and/or TV show on demand, charging a fee for each rental.
Subscription Video-on-Demand (S-VoD): VoD service that charges a flat monthly subscription fee for viewing of films and TV shows.

OVERVIEW OF THE OVER-THE-TOP TV MARKET
Three main factors that are key to OTT TV diffusion:
1. Increased penetration of broadband connections
2. High-quality online video content (i.e. catch-up TV, VoD)
3. Replacement of old devices with those that are Internet-connected (i.e. Smart TV sets such as Google TV)

GOOGLE TV
What is it and is it important?

GOOGLE TV
SEARCH THE TV SET
Allows users to search the Web, EPG, DVR for any given TV show, actor, genre, etc.;
Problem: DVR search is completely integrated only with Dish Network in the United States;
Problem: reports of inaccurate and unexpected search results;
Still, the concept of being able to search the entirety of the Web for any given programme or film using keywords is a powerful tool.

Website owners have the option to build dedicated websites that are adapted for TV viewing;

THE INTERNET ON THE TV SET
Google TV users now have the entirety of the Internet available on their TV set;
Using the Google Chrome Web browser users can access any website and even play flash video using Adobe Flash 10.1;
Images from Google
Google Chrome Web Browser
Problem: browsing the Web is a personal activity as opposed to TV, which is often viewed in the company of others. A laptop or tablet PC is more conducive to TV viewer multitasking.

GOOGLE TV
APPS ON THE TV SET

Apps on the TV set offering everything from video content (S-VoD, T-VoD, Web video) to Web radio to social networking;
At first, apps for Google TV come preloaded, but beginning in early 2011, apps will be available from the android market;
Apps are a key to making Google TV work. If they run smoothly and don’t detract from the viewing experience, they will be an excellent addition.

More hardware partners have recently been announced.

GOOGLE TV’S MAIN COMPETITORS
APPLE TV
Images from Apple
Apple TV allows users to download content from the iTunes store (walled-garden business approach);
Apple TV comes with a selection of built-in apps:
Apple TV allows North American users to access Netflix;
The Apple TV can also be controlled with an iOS device and content viewing synced using AirPlay.

GOOGLE TV’S MAIN COMPETITORS
YAHOO! CONNECTED TV
Images from Yahoo!
Yahoo! Connected TV runs most of the same devices as Google TV:
The platform is centered around Yahoo!’s Konfabulator widget engine, which was originally developed for the PC. This means that widgets are easily written for the TV using existing code;
Yahoo! has recently announced that it is launching a Yahoo! Connected TV store and has already released the SDK;
Yahoo! TV Widgets can run discreetly on the TV set.

GOOGLE TV’S MAIN COMPETITORS
ROKU
Images from Roku
The Roku player is a set-top box that is simple and cheap compared to other devices with similar spec (starting at $59.99);
Roku has, arguably, the best line-up of online content available:
No social networking apps other than photo apps including Facebook photos and Flickr;
Likely the best value option for consumers looking just for OTT TV services.

CONCLUSION
So the future of television is...
![Page 29: The Future of Television](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051015/55527e3db4c905b4598b4cf0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
CONCLUSION
Not Google TV in its present form
A less intrusive model such as Yahoo! Connected TV is better for delivering non-video Web content to a screen being viewed by multiple people.
A walled-garden system such as Apple TV or Roku offers content providers security and a guaranteed revenue stream.
Multi-tasking will continue to grow, and using social networking services such as Facebook or Twitter while watching TV are more suited to individual use on a separate device (i.e. tablet PC or laptop).
