Determining the Priority Given 5
to Distribution
The term is most synonymous with subscription-based video-on-demand (SVoD) services that offer access to film and television
content (including existing series acquired from other producers, as well as original content produced specifically for the service).
OTT also encompasses a wave of "skinny" television services that offer access to live streams of linear specialty channels, similar to
a traditional satellite or cable TV provider, but streamed over the public Internet, rather than a closed, private network with
proprietary equipment such as set-top boxes.
Over-the-top services are typically accessed via websites on personal computers, as well as via apps on mobile devices (such as
smartphones and tablets), digital media players (including video game consoles), or televisions with integrated Smart TV platforms.
