Description

The US TV market in many ways cannot be compared to the one we have in Germany. But once TV over IP becomes more and more demanding by end users the existing TV stations risk to lose their dominant role in the TV market space. The "aggressors" are everywhere. Be it giants like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix, Hulu to name a few or just startups (almost) nobody has ever heard of – YET.
