Quotes: David Henry, VP of Product Management, NETGEAR(®) Inc."As an existing OTT partner with Broadcom, we are excited to see Broadcom's OTT product family continue to deliver the flexibility needed to address the expanding world of Internet entertainment on the TV. We look forward to our continued partnership with Broadcom to design cutting-edge products like our NeoTV Streaming Player (NTV200) that transform existing TVs into Smart TVs."
Keith Nissen, Research Director, In-Stat"OTT video is continuing to grow, overcoming the barriers of low device connect rates and cumbersome user interfaces. Even stronger growth of Internet Video-on-Demand (iVOD) and Electronic Sell-Through (EST) video services is possible if device manufacturers and digital retailers can put together a simpler, plug-n-play solution for getting online video to the TV (web-to-TV)."

Broadcom is revolutionizing television by providing a full range of platform solutions for content sharing and video streaming throughout the home."
