Launch the Virtual Operator
OTT Model
What Is the Virtual Operator Model?
The virtual operator IPTV / OTT model is primarily a way to scale your platform to your B2B clients. The host operator owns the assets such as network infrastructure, content, and a software TV platform. The host operator connects virtual IPTV operators (or sub-operators) that use its assets. So, companies don't need to purchase content and build their own network infrastructure to create their own virtual operator. Virtual operators work under their own brand and exist jointly with a host operator only.
If you own such assets, you may become a host operator — the one who connects other virtual operators to his platform. This way you additionally monetize your audience.
