Faced with a slowing growth rate of ad revenue for the small screen and the rising popularity of off-the-grid viewing, TV channel operators are working to forge themselves a position on the web to take advantage of the huge increase in advertising investments in this medium. Capitalising on the strength of their media brands, broadcasters are offering new TV services online. This “new media” strategy, which is being deployed by TV channels across the board in North America and Europe, is forcing changes in media chronology, new business models and a change in the TV broadcaster and aggregator businesses – moving from the delivery of a push type TV service to the distribution of programmes in pull mode, while working to create a more personalised and interactive relationship with viewers. |

It is the in-depth data made available by Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) that makes the network more intelligent, thus adding some smarts into a network infrastructure. |
