  1. Video Value Chains Case Study Update:The Evolution of Video Services Natalie Klym Research Associate, MIT nklym@cfp.mit.edu May 31, 2007 Philadelphia, PA

  2. The goals of today’s talk • Give an overview of the video case study • Look at today’s changes in historical context • Present a framework for video platforms • Examine current competitive dynamics among video services • Discuss future trends

  3. The evolution of the U.S. TV industry can be broken down into three phases • Original broadcast model (1930s-1940s) • First reinvention of television (1940s-1990s) • Second reinvention of television (1990s – present) • Each phase includes a combination of • TV extensions • New delivery platforms • New content providers • General trend towards value chain fragmentation • Today’s video landscape is messy and complex, and changing quickly Overview of video case study

  4. Simple TV service model • networks produce content • deliver content over licensed spectrum • linear programming, no interactivity • ad-supported service, free to consumers • Dominated by big three networks (ABC, CBC, NBC) • Vertical integration of production, content aggregation & delivery The original broadcast model TV Big 3 networks OTA

  5. Cable retransmits broadcasters signals (1940s) imports distant broadcast signals (1950s) Cable content industry is born (1970s) Satellite Direct-to-home systems (1980s) Distributes cable & broadcasters programming VCR late 1970s time-shifting, ad-skipping, trick plays on-demand retail channel The first reinvention of television New delivery platforms TV New content providers Satellite TV STB Cable TV networks STB Cable TV Recording VCR Big 4 networks OTA B&M New delivery platform for movies VOD (movies) Film studios

  6. Linear Cable TV VOD The second reinvention of television • Digital transmission • more channels • HDTV • enables interactive services (EPG, VOD) • Digital recording • increases rate of recording • enables transfer of recorded content to PCs, PDAs • integration with Internet /PC value chain • redistribution via Internet Transfer of recorded content to PCs, PDAs PDA PC Digital recording TV Satellite TV STB/DVR Cable TV networks STB/DVR Interactive services (EPG, VOD) DVD Big 4 networks OTA B&M Post (DVD) Digital transmission VOD added to digital cable Film studios

  12. Will Web TV compete with or complement carrier-based TV services? • “Unbundled value chains innovate faster. The Apple’s and Microsoft’s will provide experiences, not pipes and will be more agile than the network operators who provide more integrated services.” • “The user has become the master. Consumers know how to put together their own bundle of services. It doesn’t have to be an integrated solution.” • “We’re starting to see the tail wagging the dog – the terminal is driving consumer choices. In the future, Sony and Samsung will have TVs connected to the Internet. People will buy devices that happen to connect to content.” • “At the end of the day, most people buy bundles of services. The consumer will buy the least costly package.”
