John Rose, president of OPASTCO, felt that he had to, “Walk the walk,” and show by example the sort of world that is available today to the customers of the Telcos. With the help of his son-in-law, Rose created a home entertainment and communications network that allowed him to cut the cord from all but his broadband provider.

While not for the technical-neophyte, Rose’s idea of getting services via over the top methods will be commonplace in the not-too-distant future. Watch this video to see John’s suggestion for how a Telco can simplify the Over the Top experience for the customer and return to a world where a telco is involved in the sale and service of CPE.
