The IHS Markit Global Cord-Cutting Tracker identifies the markets in which traditional pay TV is declining, a trend that is in most cases the result of cord-cutting – i.e. customers of traditional pay TV services (cable, satellite, IPTV or pay DTT) cancelling their subscriptions in favour of online video alternatives.

Areas of expertise: TV-operator strategy, European multichannel TV “The battle for the second screen is gathering pace, with broadcasters, pay-TV providers and new OTT contenders all engaged in the land grab.

Ted also has a particular focus on developments in Western Europe and North America, covering all aspects of digital-video distribution in these regions.

In his time with the company, he has contributed to research on a wide range of areas and covered all geographical regions. Recent research highlights include a report on second-screen strategies for pay-TV operators and analysis of strategies for taking DTT into the connected era.
