OTT Internet TV on-demand content is relatively abundant, but it is still limited by the license and SARFT supervision; online video content The most abundant but the main advantage is focused on on-demand content.

From the screen point of view, IPTV and OTT Internet TV are mainly large-screen televisions, and network video is mainly based on computers and small mobile screens.

At the policy level, after the OTT Internet TV was restricted by the license, several participating companies were ordered to rectify or even suspend operations, which had a major impact on the launch of OTT Internet TV advertising. Unlike the OTT Internet TV's recent policy of strict control, the country's policy toward IPTV continues to be positive. As early as 2005, China Telecom and Shanghai Media Group had already cooperated in launching IPTV service in Shanghai and won the first IPTV license in mainland China. On March 1st, 2016, the Office of the State Council's Three Networks Convergence Coordinating Group issued a notice to the National Association of China on the 2016 Special Express to comprehensively promote the in-depth implementation of the triple play in the country, and comprehensively promote the development of the triple play nationwide business.

After more than 10 years of accumulation and development, the government's attitude towards IPTV has become clear and policy risks are relatively small. For advertisers, IPTV advertising is more stable, and there is almost no risk of national policies in advertising and branding plans.

The statement in the document on China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile’s promotion of IPTV transmission services across the country also indicates that following the telecommunications and China Unicom, China Mobile will also obtain an IPTV transmission business license. This is the third arrow of the IPTV market in 2016. The lively pattern of hair provided imagination. Ereli's analysis believes that China Mobile's acquisition of IPTV transmission services will bring a large number of new users to IPTV, and the audience base for IPTV advertising will be further expanded.

In general, online video users are shifting from desktop to mobile and large screen. The big screen end of the TV is mainly IPTV and OTT Internet TV. The advantage of IPTV lies in the advantage of live broadcast content on TV stations. Stable advantages and supportive advantages in policy supervision; while OTT Internet TV has more advantages in on-demand content, many participants, and achieve development through competition.

The highest; the competitive video website for a single viewing time is lower than IPTV; while cable TV is in a low-viscosity area, and the times and duration of video collection are lower than IPTV.

IPTV has a big advantage in the big screen area: At the content level, IPTV has TV stations that broadcast and view resources and have on-demand content. At the user level, IPTV users not only have high stickiness, but also spend more time on IPTV than cable. TV. Ereli's analysis believes that based on its content advantages, IPTV advertising can cover the media resources of all TV stations across the country; based on user advantages, IPTV advertising can better influence users, improve advertising effectiveness, and ultimately increase the brand's influence.
