In today’s environment, Multi Service Operators (MSOs) are faced with ever-increasing television content costs and cord cutting or cord shaving, resulting in lower TV service margins and reduced revenues. However, walking away from a TV service is not an option for many service operators, as many consumers still look for a one-stop shop to bundle services.
In addition, competition in the broadband sector continues to rise, although margins and revenues there remain healthy — and in many cases, continue to grow. This leaves service operators with several challenges relating to their TV service offering. They need to reduce operating cost and complexity, while at the same time introducing new competitive features and expanding access to new avenues of content access. And they need to do this with as little capital outlay as possible.
