In the early 1990s, digital TV technology revolutionized the consumer experience by allowing service providers to transmit significantly more channels using the same bandwidth as analog TV. This led to the emergence of new services like direct broadcast satellite TV and digital cable TV, expanding consumer options from a few to hundreds of channels. The early 2000s saw the advent of IPTV, as Telcos launched television services over their broadband networks to compete with cable operators’ bundled voice, data, and video services. By the late 2000s, the third wave of digital TV technology, OTT, enabled operators to deliver video services to a wide array of devices anytime and anywhere, thanks to advanced streaming technologies and increased broadband access.
