We have all heard the term Big Data' and it's been hanging around the TV industry for many years. But what does Big Data' mean today as the next frontier for OTT service providers?

Data is being generated by everything around us, all day long. Every digital process - from smart sensors and mobile devices to social media exchanges - produces it and as our world becomes more and more connected, big data is being generated at a phenomenal rate and variety.

The recent Digital TV Europe Industry Survey 2017 reveals how big data could potentially shape the OTT TV experience, as well as deliver additional revenues and new business models for service providers. However, what needs to be done to ensure data can be profitable for businesses remains a subject of heavy debate.

More than half of those surveyed think big data's ability to deliver content recommendations will have a very positive impact on OTT TV's success as well as the end user's experience.

For viewers, TV operators and rights-holders alike, big data offers a multitude of potential benefits - from more personalised experiences and fewer irrelevant ads, to stickier services, reduced churn and deeper insights that can inform critical decision-making.
