“It’s an exciting chapter we are entering into,” says Rich Fickle, president and CEO of NCTC in the above video filmed at The Independent Show. Fickle refers to the variety of suppliers demonstrating new technologies, from virtual reality, to various forms of over-the-top service integration. These suppliers are helping his members to enhance their broadband and offer new services and more choice to their customers.

He compares the changes in the video business to what the Internet has done to other markets. He calls these changes beneficial and that his members are embracing new ways to serve their customers. He emphasizes that members will continue to embrace video, even as margins decline, the business model changes and new screens and ways of viewing video become mainstream.
