As multi-screen TV booms don't be left behind

As the major trade shows have demonstrated within the last few months, multi-screen TV is the future. But you already know that the future of TV is changing with consumers watching content across smart TVs, mobile phones and tablets.

The relatively nascent multi-screen industry is changing the very foundations of how we watch TV. In the connected future it is estimated that by 2020 there will be 50 billion connected devices globally, of these, 15 billion are expected to be video enabled. Furthermore the global IPTV market will grow to $49 billion in service revenues and 113 million subscribers in 2015 as multi-screen video usage drives wireless services to new highs. All this means big business.

The openings for broadcasters, content owners, pay TV and OTT operators, telcos and OEMs is a mouth-watering prospect. Suddenly there is a way to increase the amount of time people spend watching TV, increase the levels of interaction, opportunities to create new content, chances to add social capabilities, gain more viewer data and create new partnerships. It is a watershed in the TV industry, revolutionising the way content is consumed.

A recent survey has suggested that more 30% of broadband connected households across Britain are interested in a service allowing them to view TV programming on multiple devices. Between 15-30% of consumers from across Western Europe claimed they are willing to pay addition fees to obtain this service. Put simply, demand is growing.
