 | I just came across Chuck Parkers feature ranking of third party 2ndScreen or companion screen apps. The definition for the apps is broad and includes apps that you might use on you smart phone, iPad or laptop when watching a TV. The 2ndScreen app can be used for augmenting the TV experience with trivia, wiki, advertising, well, and much more such as content discovery for VOD. The fact of the matter is, the category is relatively new and Chuck Parkers feature ranking encompasses apps with very different business models. http://digitalvideospace.blogspot.dk/2012/06/feature-ranking-of-3rd-party-second.html |

In less than 2 years, after launching the brand Waoo!, we have managed to position our company as a clear
number 1 on internet services in Denmark. An independent survey made by the analysis company Loyalty Groups, which has not been paid by Waoo!, has just been released by Computerworld showing that Waoo! is the clear market leader based on all parameters including value-for-money, customer-loyalty, internet speed, and quality. I am very proud to be part of this success and know that we have only just started and must continuously improve to stay ahead and keep satisfying customers.

Earlier this month, I met with Kyle Vogt, CEO and co-Founder of Justin.tv. Justin.tv was started by Justin Kan livecasting and essentially broadcasting what he saw 24/7 via a camera attached to his baseball cap. The concept quickly received significant media attention and a new business was created in 2007. Later justin.tv has spun off twitch.tv which is a vertical envisioned to be “the ESPN of gaming”and Socialcam focusing on mobile video sharing. Justin.tv has several ways of monetizing the broadcasting business including preroll adds, broadcast advertisers and subscriptions. Kyle and his team have built a super cost effective and quality
network enabling an impressive 20 million unique viewers on monthly basis and supporting up to 250.000 concurrent users. The basic idea of justin.tv is building on a key trend for the future. The trend is described by Cisco futurist Dave Evans as “in ten years, anyone will broadcast anywhere to anybody on any device”. Justin.tv has the advantage of having access to their own global broadcast and viewer traffic patterns and I discussed with Kyle what new vertical sectors could be the next big thing. Would it be local sports or a church mass? I’m confident that more verticals will materialize, as it has been seen on the on demand side with for example the European Epic TV OTT service focusing on extreme sports. In any case, the video content market is undergoing rapid change. Super high vision TV tested for London Olympics...and how much bandwidth is required? 184 Mbps!

http://t.co/m3JRKOSM Interesting news for the FTTH / Internet-IP TV sector: Did Google Fiber just get its own Google TV set-top box?
