OTT services, or Over-The-Top services, refer to media services delivered directly to viewers via the Internet, bypassing traditional cable or satellite providers. These services offer a wide range of content, including movies, TV shows, live sports, and original programming, often at a lower cost than traditional subscription services. OTT services are typically accessed through dedicated apps on smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, or streaming devices.

The term "Over-The-Top" originates from the fact that these services are delivered over the top of traditional broadcast and cable networks, using the Internet as the primary delivery mechanism. This allows for greater flexibility and innovation in content delivery, as well as the ability to reach a global audience.

Popular OTT services include Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hulu. These platforms often offer exclusive content, personalized recommendations, and the ability to watch content on-demand. Some OTT services also provide live TV channels, sports, and news, blurring the line between traditional TV and streaming services.

OTT services have significantly impacted the media and entertainment industry, challenging traditional business models and forcing cable and satellite providers to adapt. The rise of OTT has also led to increased competition and innovation, driving down prices and improving the overall viewing experience for consumers. However, it has also raised concerns about content piracy, data privacy, and the potential for a fragmented media landscape.
