Description

This conversation explores Deutsche Telekom’s customer premise equipment strategy, including the evolution of set-top boxes, and considers the near-term impact of the global memory shortage (caused by AI build-out) and how that shapes current thinking. We explore the importance of Magenta TV as an app (among other apps) on Smart TVs and the market opportunities this has created. Finally, we hear about the groundbreaking partnership with VIDAA and Hisense to develop an Operator Smart TV that will use Magenta TV as the default UI, and consider the technology that will allow Magenta TV to run on VIDAA or other Smart TV operating systems.
