    OTT EXECUTIVE PANEL (LIVE FROM DIGITAL HOLLYWOOD)

    OTT stands for over-the-top, initially named in reference to devices that go “over” a cable box to give the user access to TV content. In OTT channels, content is delivered via an internet connection rather than through a traditional cable/broadcast provider.  However, Ben argues that this term will soon be retired.
