Annual savings attributable to Hybrid VoD could reach $11B globally within a decade. Cumulative savings could achieve $300B within the same time-frame. This is for Bandwidth expenditures alone. Hardware and other infrastructure saving will add substantially to this figure.
Demand for VoD Content is growing at a significant CAGR; 20-30%. The growing popularity of UHD content will exacerbate this demand.
Hardware and Bandwidth burdens are increasing at a rate proportional with this demand.
Cost of non-volatile memory is rapidly becoming non-consequential.
The ability of each CSP to infer their subscriber’s future viewing choices is already here, albeit in a nascent form.
Fat Tail media assets are plumping, bulked up with original content from the major CSPs. This makes viewing inference easier and increases the efficiency of Multicast methods.
Source Specific Multicast will have a much larger greater opportunity to be fully implemented, as IPv6, 5G and ATSC 3.0 reach their inevitable ubiquity.
A Means for Live High-Demand content delivery should be integrated into this initiative. This especially includes UHD content.
Business operations will eventually choose Economy over Waste.
The above points lead to an unavoidable need for an alteration in the delivery of SVoD. Now is time to get in front of this transition.
Standards will be required to gain the market share benefits, that only a Common Framework can provide.
