Liberty Global and Vodafone Deutschland do not see OTT video services as a significant threat, but rather as something that has stimulated them to provide a better overall experience to their consumers, according to Liberty president and CEO Mike Fries and Vodafone Deutschland managing director Manuel Cubero.

He agreed with Fries that cable had improved its overall TV service thanks to the stimulus provided by OTT services.
