What is OTT?
Seriously, WTF is OTT?
An "over-the-top" media service is any online content provider that offers streaming media as a standalone product. This term is applied to video-on-demand platforms and refers to audio streaming, messaging services, or internet-based voice calling solutions.
OTT services circumvent traditional media distribution channels such as networks or cable television providers. You can access the complete service as long as you have access to an internet connection — either locally or through a mobile network.
OTT services are typically monetized via paid subscriptions, but there are exceptions. For example, some OTT platforms might offer in-app purchases or advertising.

What is the Value of OTT? High-value content at low cost: Streaming services are widely considered a cost-effective alternative to traditional cable packages. A Netflix HD subscription is currently $12.99 per month, while non-HD plans cost $8.99. That’s a reasonable fee even if you only intend to watch a fraction of its offered content.

Why Now? Original content: In recent years, OTT providers like Netflix and Amazon Prime have begun producing original content that is exclusively available through their service. Platforms like HBO Max and Disney+ also have exclusive streaming licenses for previously televised content. Compatibility with multiple devices: For years, watching cable television required a television set. Today, we can watch OTT content from a broad range of devices. Any account holder can enjoy the same OTT experience from a gaming console, smartphone, tablet, or smart TV.
