Description

Comcast launched its own commercial CDN offering in 2015 and added a new live linear streaming service that it announced at IBC 2015. The new platform provides customers the ability to easily turn-up, manage, and enable ad or subscription-supported live, over-the-top, full-time channel experiences. While a lot of vendors in the market offer platforms to manage over-the-top channels, only a handful truly own an end-to-end ecosystem. Comcast now joins Level 3 and Verizon Digital Media Services as companies that own and operate the entire product line, spanning linear acquisition through distribution and playout.
