Roku's CEO on Advertising and the Future of Streaming TV

Roku's CEO on Advertising and the Future of Streaming TV | AVIA OTT NEWSLETTER | Scoop.it
Roku CEO Anthony Wood talks to Fortune about competing with companies like Amazon and Google, advertising, and the future of streaming TV.
AVIA's insight:
I have always loved Roku's story. The "Switzerland in the streaming devices market" is a very appropriate description. And with 48% market share of active streaming players in the U.S., they are obviously doing lots right...especially with the HUGE-name competition. Unfortunately my Singapore registered Roku-4 doesn't, yet, give me access to all the services I would like.
