Kent Steffen CSG

The clear segments that used to characterize the cable industry are slowly beginning to blend, according to CSG president, global OTT business Kent Steffen. With content creators developing apps around their latest programs and pay TV creating a number of new bundles, the landscape continues to change at a rapid pace.
