Why Did Touchstream Join the Streaming Video Technology Alliance?

As a young, innovative company Touchstream was invited two years ago to join the Streaming Video Alliance under the grant initiative. The genesis to bring together prominent, large broadcasters and small, agile companies like us to collaborate on important OTT benchmarks allows the entire gamut of the industry to have a contribution to the working groups and bring valuable insights from different angles.

What Do You Believe is the Biggest Technical Challenge Facing the Streaming Video Industry the SVTA Can Help Address?

The ability to rapidly scale-up for live streaming events is reaching a critical point for broadcasters. The Alliance´s working groups like open caching, live streaming and QoE all play a major role in this future of ultra-high, global, live streaming events.

How Does an Organization Like the SVTA Bring Value to the Industry?

The Streaming Video Alliance is in a key position to build a cohesiveness in the new OTT environment by creating industry standards on Quality of Service and best practices, giving its members, and the industry, a critical advantage in high quality streaming. Because the Alliance is primarily focused at the engineering level, the cooperation fostered among the many operators and vendors, and the sometimes slightly heated debate, creates a unique opportunity to tackle the most complex large scale and important issues in the future of OTT streaming.
