“The best thing about standards is that there are so many of them!” It’s an old joke, but it’s never been more true. Our industry is full of competing operating systems, standards and frameworks that are supposed to make app development faster and more efficient. The reality, of course, is that streaming services often end up supporting many different standards to reach all their target devices, especially if they want to reach the proprietary set top boxes (STBs) deployed by Pay TV operators. In today’s market it’s a challenge faced by any pure OTT service or broadcaster that wants to put their apps on operator boxes.
