VIDEO: Cable operators could benefit from OTT partnerships, says Zon’s Lopes

Cable operators should view OTT services as an an opportunity rather than a threat, according to Luis Lopez, chief operating officer at Portugal’s Zon Multimedia.

Speaking to DTVE, Lopes said cable operators could benefit from partnering with OTT operators, echoing similar comments made by Virgin Media’s CEO Neil Berkett.

Lopes, meanwhile, believes Zon’s mix of entry level packages and next generation services, including Iris and broadband speeds of up to 360Mbps, will help the operator to win new customers and increase ARPU this year despite tough economic conditions.
