Research and Markets: Internet Video is Coming to TV Sets - Over-The-Top Video Delivery to TV Sets

DUBLIN --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7a05a8/internet_video_is) has announced the addition of the "Internet Video Is Coming to TV Sets: Over-the-Top Video Delivery to TV Sets" report to their offering.



An all new version of the report "Internet Video Is Coming to TV Sets" is now available. This comprehensively updated report (since March 2009) looks at the way internet video is delivered directly to TV sets.

The report includes the following: 1. Updated listing of players and the content companies with which they have deals.


2. A comparison of delivery methods and content.

3. In a dramatically changing market, a survey of new players and how fortunes have changed in only a few months.

4. How money is being made at every level from innovations within the current market.

The report is about "over-the-top" video delivery that threatens to disrupt the traditional TV and movie industry because it delivers direct to the living room, bypassing existing distribution such as pay-TV, DVDs and local TV stations.

Who should read it? Pay-TV companies including cable, satellite and telcos, movie and TV studios, TV networks, makers of set-top boxes and the infrastructure that delivers video to the home, local TV stations, financial analysts and industry consultants.

Recent reports that DVD sales and rentals are down is a sign that millions of consumers want internet-delivered entertainment and information videos. And, increasingly they want to watch them on their TV sets, not just the PC.

Websites like YouTube (News - Alert), Hulu and the BBC's iPlayer have already attracted millions of viewers.

The only pending question is how those videos will be delivered to TV sets.

Will it be set-top boxes like Apple (News - Alert) TV and Netflix's Roku box, which connects TV sets to the Net? Or, will makers of TV sets and Blu-ray players bypass the separate box and build its functions in? Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic and others have started building internet connectivity into TV sets and connect to Yahoo/Intel (News - Alert) Widgets and/or Netflix' online service.

Viewers are changing their video consumption habits as the quantity and quality of video increases. Sites like Hulu.com are reporting impressive numbers of visitors and time spent watching videos and ad dollars.

The report has a list of the players sorted by their delivery mechanism, their monthly rates and a list of the studios each has have deals with plus reports from 'The Online Reporter', the newsweekly that tracks internet video.
