At this week’s OTT Question Time, Thursday 28 October, we went to Germany! Not literally, alas, but we discussed the country’s flourishing OTT landscape with a panel of resident experts: Ralph Wagner, CEO of Axinom, the independent media consultant, Anette Schaefer, and Stefan Blickensdörfer, CTO of 3SS.

Together we explored:

  • Germany’s TV landscape: the big satellite and cable operators
  • How German consumers, who have been used to a settled TV environment, have embraced OTT
  • Germany as a strategic market in the Streaming Wars
  • Linear and VOD trends among different age cohorts
  • And the future of OTT and TV in the country
