CenturyLink CTO Outlines OTT Plan
CenturyLink has been discussing plans to launch a new duo of over-the-top services for months, and this week one of its top execs shed a bit more light on how the telco intends to deliver new video streaming services inside and outside its Prism TV footprint.

He said the OTT approach will allow CenturyLink to deliver pay TV packages using less bandwidth while rapidly expanding its Prism TV footprint.
