Oct. 26 Webinar: Over-the-Top Programming

Post date: Oct 17, 2017 2:49:29 PM

Join us for a webinar on Oct 26, 2017 at 2:00 PM EDT: How Could Over the Top Video Use Impact Local Cable Franchising?

“Over-the-top” programming is the delivery of media content over the Internet without the involvement of a system operator. The system operator can’t control the content or redistribution rights; the operator can affect viability of OTT service via data caps, or control of connectivity. But as we are seeing with Layer 3 and others, cable and video system owners/operators are beginning to offer their own streaming services and cloud-based services to their customers. Is this a cable service? Is the service subject to consumer protection requirements? Are companies paying a communications service tax on these services? Join this free webinar to discover how over-the-top services could impact local cable franchising authority.
