This paper, which has been jointly developed by Akamai and Wuaki.tv —
an OTT service provider — covers the importance of satisfying viewer
expectations for a broadcast-quality experience by quickly and reliably

Wuaki.tv chose the latter option and boosted customer retention, customer
referrals, and revenues as a result.
