“We Believe the Future of TV Is Apps” - by Tim Cook


“We Believe the Future of TV Is Apps” said Apple CEO Tim Cook way back in 2015, imagining a future of modern TV viewing experience with online apps and streaming devices. 

Today, OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon are not only available on smartphones, the same can also be streamed on smart TVs. Alternatively many 3rd party streaming sticks or boxes also are available for the standard TVs. It has made the shift begin for a bigger future that is yet to have participated in Indian households. 

Taking the scene a step forward for the legalization of online media, recently the Indian Government brought OTT and online news portal under the purview of the I&B minister. Hence all OTT platforms and online news portals will now be regulated by the I&B Ministry as per a new order by the government. 

It is a clear indication of the future of an online broadcasting ecosystem.

Lockdown has led to a dramatic increase in online demand for all related services like movies, music, news, social media, online gaming, e-books, online casinos and so on.
