Speaking on the new development, Ove Anebygd, Vice President and Head of Solution Area Media, Ericsson, said that, “Today’s viewers are more prescriptive than ever. They want simplicity in discovery and immediacy of access to TV Anywhere services, and content delivered in the highest possible quality. “
