The Impact of Internet-enabled TVs, Consoles, and Set-top Boxes
The new era of connected televisions and living room devices hasn't just impacted viewers; it's required new ways of operating behind the scenes, 也. Here's how Paul Wehrley, general manager for 遥控器, described the new playing field at a 流媒体 East panel discussion entitled "The Impact of Broadband-Enabled TVs, 游戏控制台, 和设备”:
"The content owners themselves, they got to be very careful about jeopardizing the relationships there. If they put too much content [online] or give too much to Netflix, too much online for free, 康卡斯特公司, instead of paying $2 to carry Comedy Central, 说, “好吧, there's too much competition. I'll give you a dollar for that,'" said Wehrley. "And the same thing with Time Warner and the same thing with Cox, and suddenly Comedy Central/Viacom's business starts shrinking a bit.
"These guys do wield a lot of power. If feel like TV Everywhere...it's a hedge against everyone just fleeing to Netflix."
