Cable Congress 2015 Video Interviews – Manuel Kohnstamm, Liberty Global & Cable Europe
Liberty Global will look to make selective investments in content production, particularly to feed its SVoD services, according to Manuel Kohnstamm, the company’s chief policy officer, who also serves as president of cable industry organisation Cable Europe.
In an exclusive interview with DTVE at Cable Congress, Kohnstamm talks about how cable can follow the example of OTT providers in investing in content. “Netflix has shown that and HBO has been successful with that kind of strategy and we are developing in a similar direction,” he says.
In his interview with DTVE, Kohnstamm also addresses convergence and the differences emerging in the net neutrality debate between Europe and the US.
