The video ecosystem as it exists today is characterized by fragmentation—for the consumer, broadcasters, content providers, and service providers. Despite this fragmentation, consumers still long for a unified video experience that combines the interactivity of online video with the visual experience and pervasiveness of linear television.
In order to meet these demands and maintain and grow their customer base, service providers are changing their approach and transforming into “experience” providers. Cisco plays a critical role in helping service providers transform their current networks into efficient platforms optimized for the next generation of video: IP Video.
Medianets enable service providers and content providers to collaborate to blend content delivery across multiple platforms (i.e., PC and TV) and monetize online, broadcast, and on-demand video in new ways.
At IPTV World Forum, Cisco will demonstrate the latest services for a “Connected Life”, showing how content owners and service providers can use medianet technologies to deliver the unified video experience that will attract today’s viewers.
