Over-the-top media service

Service delivering video over the internet instead of through a multi-system operator

Over-the-top media service    ▸ Facts   ▸ Comments   ▸ News   ▸ Videos   

An over-the-top (OTT) media service is a media service offered directly to viewers via the Internet. OTT bypasses cable, broadcast, and satellite television platforms—the mediums through which companies have traditionally acted as controllers or distributors of such content. It has also been used to describe no-carrier cellphones, for which all communications are charged as data, avoiding monopolistic competition, or apps for phones that transmit data in this manner, including both those that replace other call methods and those that update software.
