Welcome to Verimatrix’s Pay-TV Views Blog

By developing software-based content security solutions, we’ve set out to change the competitive landscape of traditional conditional access and enhance the value of video service delivery networks. Since our humble beginning in 2000, we’ve witnessed a tremendous amount of change in the pay-TV industry. Back then IPTV was a Greenfield market that had many doubting its viability to effectively compete with cable, satellite and terrestrial TV.

Fast forward to today, there’s no question that IPTV is here to stay. And depending on who you talk to, the growth prospects look good at nearly every corner of the globe: Asia, Europe and Americas.

Now we are seeing video service operators of all kinds embrace the technologies that have enabled the growth of IPTV. The current analog to digital transition is fueling major upgrades as operators see the upside potential of extending their reach and services. IP-based technologies are becoming the essential framework that underpins these competing, converged pay-TV services.

The intent of our blog is to share our experiences, insights and opinions about how pay-TV is changing on a global basis. We conduct business with operators in the hottest digital TV markets on the globe across many different networks – IPTV, cable, satellite, DVB hybrid, etc. We participate in many industry conversations – customers, partners, organizations, conferences – and we are known to have strong opinions! We feel this provides us with a unique perspective that we’d like to share with you.
