The question is how to monetize this TV service on Facebook. I can see a situation in the future where you use Facebook credits to watch a TV service. I think this environment is more open. I think the future of IP television will be social television. People can share the content and probably you can monetize this using the social networking features,\u201d Berezowski said.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp; In the modern and integrated satellite and IP content delivery environment, satellite operators now face technical challenges in delivering multi-screen services and applications to home networks. The concept of a mobilized consumer exists even within the home, and most providers believe that consumers don\u2019t care where the content comes from. \u201cThey want seamless integration and that is a challenge that all of us face. We can decide how much we use satellite. You will see costs over time rise in terms of the delivering content over telecoms networks,\u201d said Berezowski.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the United States, <strong>DirecTV<\/strong> hopes to showcase its innovative home delivery services through popular content offerings, such as NFL Sunday Ticket, and expand its media server concept during the next stage of the operator\u2019s business model. \u201c[Our strategy] is about content locally stored in the server. It is a way for the consumer to have access to one place in the house with all the content. We have a server serving all around the house. It is a central storage point for all video content to be shared throughout the home. It is an exciting technology. The home media concept allows you to deliver content to set-top box-less receivers (Connected TVs, Blu Ray players), for example,\u201d said DirecTV Senior Vice President of Engineering Henry Derovanessian.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp; The operator, which underlined its strong position in both the United States and Latin America with its 2010 full-year results, is jumping on social media to sustain its growth as user interaction in the market is rapidly changing, said Derovanessian. \u201cThere are now more smart and sophisticated ways of identifying content. The question is how do you bring everything together? We don\u2019t view broadband as competition. We can offer more services to customers by using broadband.\u201d<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But unlike its peers, ITI Neovision has decided not to launch a TV app. \u201cI can see no sense for securing content that is available in the next 15 minutes on the net.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an attempt to link multi-screen delivery services and growth in social media platform interest, ITI Neovision CEO Tomasz Berezowski, conducted a recent trial where customers could access TV services directly through the Facebook browser. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Berezowski, who manages his company\u2019s N DTH platform in the highly competitive Polish DTH market, said that within four [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-85031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85031"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85031\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
