The Little Book of Broadband Video

Why Call it “The Little Book?"
The growing confluence of broadband, home networks, and connected devices made it clear that consumers were putting the pieces in place to support the digital lifestyle. At that time, however, most broadband-enabled home networks were limited to PC and peripheral connectivity with the majority of use focused on data-centric activities.

Since that time, a variety of new devices and services have surfaced to seamlessly extend the broadband connection and home network into the realm of digital entertainment. Specifically, new solutions are aiming to extend this digital infrastructure beyond the PC and into the home entertainment system. It will be years before this model of entertainment distribution goes mainstream, but the pieces are now in place for the "over-the-top" model of content delivery to gain a solid foothold.

The Little Book of Broadband Video is a collection of 10 key insights regarding this rapidly evolving market. We hope that our unique perspective helps you gain a more concise picture of the broadband video landscape and spark some deeper thought by all involved in this market.
