20,000 Foot View: In the cord-cutting era TV networks are having to think about what life beyond the traditional pay-TV ecosystem might look like. With SVOD services snapping up audiences in their millions, operators are busy focusing on higher ARPU users and demanding more rights from networks but with tightening budgets. The risks of operators being disintermediated by the GAAF (Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook) are clear, but networks face just as much threat, albeit coming from different directions.
