Quantifying Video Service Quality

Video Service Level Management has been an issue for MSOs from the beginning
  • The Video Service Delivery network does not allow for adequate management to provide insight in to service availability or quality
  • Customers have been the primary source for understanding how well the services are being delivered
Key questions: What should target Video Service Availability be? How can we measure it?
  • Competition for providing Video Services has grown and will continue to do so with more over-the-top providers and “cord-cutting” options
  • With the proliferation of HD video, quality is paramount because poor High-Definition is worse than poor Standard-Definition Video
