@math64 @core77 "Technology must be constantly interrogated". The full implications of new tech cannot be understood a priori, especially security. A classic lesson in avoiding technical debt through closed feedback loops but with higher stakes due to the risks to privacy and trust in our homes.

[Ben Bloom @bloomben]

Great insights and considerations from @math64 (via @core77) on the role of technology in our homes. https://t.co/1RDFnONCti

Great security-focused resource by @internetsociety for engineers shifting from IPv4 to IPv6, including "sec. issues that affect both protocols...those that are new or different for [IPv6]...implications arising from the co-existence of IPv6 and IPv4." https://t.co/10Bq0ygKRa

According to @NewzooHQ, 42% of esports viewers don't play the game they're watching. @NelsonRodriguez describes 3 ways to increase esports viewer engagement: personalization, prizes, and participation. https://t.co/lMvvuAMRJZ https://t.co/v0KRAQB5MN

"AVOD can work for content aggregators...but they better start writing some big checks [so content producers are able to continue to produce high quality content"

"Word of mouth now is really word of social....it's changing the movie experience [and how people discover new content]" @PaulColichman #ottx #ott_x

[Ben Bloom @bloomben]

Consistent story today at #ott_x is about the need to tear down information silos: rights data, search & discovery, performance, content metadata. #sharingiscaring #ottx @Rightsline

"It used to be that content is king, but now I think that discovery is king." @KChandlerPayatt @npdgroup #ottx #ott_x

[Ben Bloom @bloomben]

Interactive content #Bandersnatch had a similar uplift in engagement for Black Mirror at the end of 2018 as a whole new season of content.

[Ben Bloom @bloomben]

Content renewals seem to be driven by the engagement in the first 28 days, reach, and completion rate. Strongest correlation for more seasons is increasing levels of engagement over time. @npdgroup

[Ben Bloom @bloomben]

Per research from Kathi Chandler-Payatt @npdgroup, CAGR of viewership of original series has been 55% for TV and 40% for movies. Huge benefits to producing content with OTT providers! #ottx #ott_x

[Ben Bloom @bloomben]

Excited for the start of OTT_X #ottx! Check out the panel at 10a on monetization trends with @Akamai, @AfricaChannelTV, @FiteTV, @InComm, moderated by @ErickOpeka from @Cinedigm
