Cooperation Needed Across the Video Food Chain

“It comes down to the consumer, said Edward T. Holleran, President and Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Broadband. He suggested a laser-like focus on meeting the needs of the customer is more important than ever, given changes in tastes, technology and competition.

He makes the point that broadband has subsidized operators’ video product for some time and that all parts of the content food chain will need to cooperate to prevent an impasse, such as the many battles over retranmission consent over the past several years. He points out that the Aereo is meeting the needs of some of the consumers and that sort of approach might be a way to supplement an operator’s offering.

Echoing other speakers, he points to the importance of business services for continued revenue growth in the face of the changing video business. He suggests that having Cogeco as a parent company will help Atlantic Broadband in its efforts to grow through its business service offering.
