The OTT (Over-the-Top) industry has transformed how audiences consume digital content. Traditional television broadcasting is rapidly being replaced by internet-based streaming platforms that offer on-demand access to movies, live TV, sports, educational content, fitness programs, and interactive entertainment. Modern users expect seamless streaming experiences across devices, ultra-fast playback, personalized recommendations, and uninterrupted access to content anytime and anywhere.
