CTO’s OTT report highlights innovative nature of OTTs

CTO’s OTT report highlights innovative nature of OTTs LONDON, 22 June 2018 - The findings of a study by the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) show that the majority of stakeholders recognize and appreciate the innovative nature of over-the-top services (OTTs) and do not want innovation to be stifled as OTT services offer numerous benefits to consumers.
