OTT Options Won't Eclipse Broadband Cable Yet, Moody's Says

Cable companies offering broadband will remain strongly positioned over the next few years, despite the growing number of over-the-top options, said a new report, "High Yield Cable's Broadband Still Effective Defense Against Over-the-Top Siege," from Moody's Investor Service. Along with the strength of the broadband business, limited competition and customer inertia would give cable operations time to adapt to the rise of OTT devices, Moody's said. The report also found a shift in the type of content available from current OTT options, with the addition of live content and sports from Dish Network's Sling TV and Sony's Vue, plus Apple's reported pay-TV service.
