The Video Explosion
summary
European cable operator Liberty launches the Horizon platform to aggregate linear and on‑demand content and share metadata for discovery; Vimeo expands Vimeo On Demand letting creators set global prices. Panelers cite concrete numbers: average German user speed ~16 Mbps versus Liberty customers at 200 Mbps, Netflix‑style uptake at only ~3% willing to pay €7.99 in Germany, and a French public broadcaster jumping from 5 million to 200 million monthly video views. 4K/UltraHD requires dramatically more capacity, so coalitions and infrastructure investment drive the strategy.
