To reduce the cost to serve and increase innovation agility Net Insight is joining the Zixi Enabled Network, increasing interoperability with other Zixi customers and partners, as well as making it easier to acquire and distribute content over public Clouds such as Amazon Web Services.

Consumer demand for instantly accessible, personalised, immersive content has radically shifted the content delivery towards OTT playout model. OTT has reduced the time and cost to serve consumers with content, and with 5G driving satellite reallocation from media distribution to mobile networking, many broadcasters and pay-TV providers are looking to IP and cloud for content acquisition and delivery.
