Cloud TV: How operators make use of a global technology trend
Thomas Staneker, Deutsche Telekom
TV quality standards are set by satellite, which is a “cloudless” service. Wired network operators must spend huge efforts to match the satellite benchmark. Cloud delivery bears the risk of deteriorating TV delivery instead of improving it. Positive effects of cloudification are obvious and too tempting NOT to go for them: flexibility, cost, vendor independence etc. Deutsche Telekom is committed to produce TV in and deliver it over the cloud. CloudTV will change the way we work because it will tear down geographical borders, increase international synergies and platforms support multi-tenancy.
