Roku CEO Anthony Wood to Deliver Keynote Address at SMPTE 2012
The future of television, as Roku Founder and CEO Anthony Wood sees it, is not as futuristic as you'd think, where we'll be able to watch every movie ever made, in any language, day or night. Wood says the future is getting close. Catch up with Wood at the Over-the-Top Conference, OTTCON 2012, earlier this year where he presented a keynote, "Future of TV: Why OTT is a Game Change." Regarded as a pioneer and innovator in the TV and digital media industry, Wood has had a hand in shaping the future of television as inventor of the Roku streaming player. He described a few different themes in what's going to happen to OTT over the next few years, and noted the skepticism around the OTT industry when the OTTCON started 3 years ago.
