Zeugma Systems is Living on the Access Edge
Andrew Harries, founding President and CEO of Zeugma Systems, a provider of next-gen subscriber management systems, talks about how it is helping service providers stay viable in the new content-driven world.
Harries answers the following questions in this Audiocast:
- In a consolidating and competitive market, how can broadband providers differentiate themselves and add consumer value beyond price and a big pipe?
- One solution that Zeugma has developed is its Smart Series Applications, which allows service providers to develop revenue-generating Internet services. Can you talk about the Smart Series and its role in the service provider network?
- It's clear that the nature of the video viewer is changing. Viewers can now get their video content not only from video content aggregators such as Netflix and YouTube, but also from traditional broadcasters such as ABC, NBC and CBS who make their content available for free viewing. How can advertisers and service providers get a piece of revenue pie out of this market?
- Do you see a continuation of growth in OTT video? Why?
- Recently, Blockbuster said that it is looking for potential service provider partners. How significant will players like Blockbuster and Netflix be in a telco's delivery of video? Do you think we'll see some kind of hybrid model with traditional broadcast content mixed with more Internet-based content?
