• Bring this into our overall BT TV experience • Truly embrace the IP delivery of channels

– Stats, behaviour, big data – Social interaction – comments and sharing of content

• TV in the cloud isn’t just about shifting distribution. It is about making it easier to find and share new shows and change the way we consume them • Can we see the same sort of interaction in the future with actual TV shows and movies than we do with minutes long clips today ? • Remove in home limitations (presence, access bandwidth and hardware)

Is it VOD or is it Cloud TV / Network PVR ? • “Records” without the end user needing too -> focus on what user wants rather than what we are use to • Leverage and maximize return on existing infrastructure: players, CDNs • Unlimited concurrent recordings – not limited by number of tuners or in home bandwidth
