- How are streaming operators dealing with non-standardized data sources? What are some of the best practices for creating relationships between the values?
- Does mobile playback complicate the data picture?
- What is the distributed request tracing project in the SVA’s Measurement/QoE group? Can that project help improve linking data sources together for an end-to-end view of a viewer’s session?
- What is the impact of non-standardized data on both data collection and analytics?
- The industry seems to be buzzing about “observability.” What, exactly, is that and and how is it achievable?
- Given the importance of data in providing a great QoE (and retaining subscribers), how are streaming operators addressing data quality, accuracy, and governance?
