Here, we’ll go over the major themes of both and what the primary speakers and panels had to discuss.
CDN World Summit
From October 1-2 at the Thistle Marble Arch hotel, experts at the CDN World Summit
enlightened attendees on a number of topics; the main focal point was “TV in
the Cloud,” a much debated subject.

“Cloud TV is not what you think it is: the
content-as-a-service model as an enabler of innovation,” a panel discussion moderated
by Executive Vice President and Managing Director of EMEA at Vubiquity, Adam
Poulter.

In a Huffington Post editorial
published that same day, Adam Poulter stressed that “the future of film is in the
cloud” and “cloud-based IP-delivered content is what people want.”
Paul Larbey, Video Business head at Alcatel-Lucent, stated that “to move forward the recording and storage of technology has to move into the cloud,” during his keynote speech, “Future vision for IP Video: From Pay TV to Cloud TV.”
And Simon Jones, Chief TV Architect at BT TV, informed conference-goers that “there’s still some maturity work to be done” in regards to cloud-related video services.

BroadbandVision Show

Steve Shannon, GM of content and services at Roku, brought
up the importance of integrating pay-TV with streaming services.
"If you are going into the pay-TV business, you need to
have an app, not just an EPG," he stated,
otherwise “consumers will go watch Netflix or Hulu or something else.”
