Analysis of Consumer Platform and Services Options

This Research Brief is part of the Digital Media Research Service


The market for premium Internet content is exploding, as nearly all major studios and content aggregators are working to make some of their most prized content available to consumers. ABI Research believes that bridging the divide between the Internet and the TV is one of the major challenges confronting this market, and in this report we evaluate the viability of the consumer platform/service solutions available today. A number of different offerings exist, including video game consoles, hybrid set-top boxes managed by video service providers, and Internet set-top boxes (such as Apple TV), and PVRs from vendors that are not service providers.
