Investigating the Energy Use of Video Delivery and Consumption 2022-2027

  • View Report Details

    Our hope is that this report will merely be Rethink TV’s introduction into the world of sustainability within video, provoking conversation and contributions from across the ecosystem by the next time we refresh this model. As the title suggests, this first report is simply an ‘investigation’ into energy consumption, and not a definitive reading as other initiatives like Greening of Streaming are trying to achieve.

    Although carefully considered, the model was constructed with broad strokes in a high-level manner. We hope that in the spirit of sustainability being a universal issue, our future work on the subject will involve active contributions from the industry. This is an attempt to answer a question that our clients ask us recently – “what is the environmental impact of the video industry?”

Video Delivery Market Forecast 2022-2028

  • View Report Details

    Rethink TV is refreshing its CDN market forecasts, and this year, Open Caching is the technology that has set the industry abuzz. Following previous examinations of WebRTC and Decentralized CDN, it looks like Open Caching is better placed to disrupt the CDN vendors, but negotiating interoperability contracts with the content providers could still prove challenging.

Operator Profiles Database

  • View Report Details

    We have reformatted the profiles process to make it more streamlined, from a production and maintenance point of view. Moving forward, the focus will be on the spreadsheet, with notes in cells where additional information is needed. This list of operators, which has shrunk from 100 to 92 through the inevitable industry consolidation, will be maintained.

    Depending on customer demand and enthusiasm, the list of operators could be expanded. Our current majority focus remains on the technology market forecasts, and tying the operator profile database into the larger historical data we collect for the forecasting element is possible. If these profiles and this database are of value to you, please let us know, so that we can prioritize this expansion.  Market dynamics
