This report is a prediction of disruptive technologies that will shape digital media and video delivery in the next 10 years.

The next generation of digital media could be determined by any number of potential changes in business or technology. Anticipating them is, by its very nature, something that is open to debate. In this report, we focus on six major issues that we reason will have the greatest effect on video infrastructure over the next 10 years.

This 63 page report argues that the following six areas will be the key drivers of change for the next ten years:

TV will shift from free to air radio to over the internet streaming OTT (from wireless to wired);
Cellular offload will make WiFi the leading wireless network (from fixed line to wireless);
Some 75% of TV viewing will shift to tablets, savaging TV sales forever (from a non-smart shared device to a smart personal wireless device);
Mass social viewing platforms will lead major motion picture releases (from a physical location shared experience to an online WiFi and cellular driven experience);
TV Channel unbundling will see the death of 75% of TV channels (more content available OTT over WiFi and cellular driving this change);
TV Everywhere will become the largest App on the planet (from fixed line to wireless delivery.
