LONDON – Many prominent operators are currently investigating new revenue and growth engines concerning media & entertainment and also connected digital lifestyles as a primary set of service priorities. Operators can not operationalise the possibilities of every service that makes sense to consumers. A smarter decision would be to find means of aggregating islands of OTT services from across the existing ecosystem and endeavour and see how some of these can be integrated into its service portfolio either via active partnerships or where needed by obtaining service capabilities.

In a world increasingly led by WhatsApp and similar players, carriers must know the best ways to cooperate with OTT players.

Netflix, T&T, Verizon, Singtel, Vodafone, Airtel Nigeria, CISCO, Facebook, Google, WhatsApp, O2 UK, Globe Telecom, Ooredoo, Deutsche Telekom, StarHub, Instagram, Orange, Claro, Spotify, Genband, among others, are the leading players in the marketplace.
