We suspect it is down to a lack of patience.<br /><br />While Hulu has erupted into the mainstream over the last couple of years, it is not the breakthrough business some might assume. It has been around for quite a while. It was initially founded in 2007, and it now owned by The Walt Disney Company, Time Warner, Comcast and 21st Century Fox, who’s share will be transferred to Walt Disney once the acquisition is complete. <br /><br />Outside the US, the business is owned by Nippon in Japan.<br /><br />For several years, Hulu was nothing more than a speck on the digital landscape, but with long-term thinking, a more genuine approach to platform design and customer experience, as well as efforts to create a long-list of content partners, it has emerged as one of the front-runners trying to capture the hearts and minds of the cord-cutting generation. Hulu viewers have a median age of 31, nearly 25 years younger than the average broadcast TV viewer, and a median annual household income of $92,000. It doesn’t seem to be doing too badly.<br /><br /><br /><br />http://telecoms.com/487070/hulu-shows-telcos-there-is-profit-in-long-term-thinking/More-with-Mobilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276365732789716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243110883198341706.post-25961829407345657822017-04-24T20:38:42.531-04:002017-04-24T20:38:42.531-04:0024 April 2017 update

CSPs (i.e. global carriers) who become Exponent’s customers can determine which areas are most important to them and can choose which of our platforms will help them reach their goals more quickly and with significantly less capital investment than if they were to build their own solutions.<br /><br />Our mission statement says: “Exponent helps the carrier community capitalize on new and emerging revenue opportunities, through revolutionary technology.”<br /><br />http://eurocomms.com/features/q-a/12259-q-a-brian-higgins-vp-and-gm-of-exponent-a-verizon-companyMore-with-Mobilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276365732789716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243110883198341706.post-60994789019665354522017-04-24T08:14:30.725-04:002017-04-24T08:14:30.725-04:00
