CenturyLink, too, eyeing over-the-top video

CenturyLink CFO Stewart Ewing told the Citi 2015 Global Internet, Media & Telecommunications Conference that it was looking to expand its video market – even where it does not currently have built out its standard Prism IPTV.

Ewing said, “We're also looking at over-the-top video applications potentially that we could offer our customers, which would be different than the Prism products that we offer today. It could really be offered all across our markets where we have the appropriate amount of speed available for our customers.”

At the same time, CenturyLink is not cutting back on its Prism IPTV service, recently reaching some 2.3 million homes.

This year, CenturyLink launched 1 Gbps fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) business and residential broadband in Omaha and Las Vegas. It went on to propose 16 more cities for the service.
