Flow’s main features and the possibility of integrating OTT services were points highlighted by Gonzalo Hita, COO of Cablevisión, Argentina’s largest pay TV operator.
He also mentioned how Flow is intending to integrate OTTs following the example of the successful launch of HBO GO as a standalone service.
There is the possibility of adding OTT content to Flow, the multi-platform service with catch up of the Argentine operator which currently includes more than 300,000 clients through a mobile app and others 100,000 via set-top boxes.
- Some excerpts of the interview with Hita are as follows:
