Digital Sovereignty of the Living Room

A policy white paper for UK and EU policymakers

Europe has lost control of the living room. As connected TV transfers search, recommendation, navigation and ad delivery to a handful of global platform owners, broadcasters become app tiles and operators risk commoditisation within their own customer base. This paper argues the loss is not yet irrevocable — but recovery requires treating connected TV as critical digital infrastructure, aligning media, competition and industrial policy around open TV OS standards, federated operator alliances, privacy-preserving edge intelligence, and targeted support for European innovation. As DTT multiplexes are retired and fibre becomes the primary route to the home screen, the window to restore sovereignty is measured in months, not years.

Technical Architecture of RedSquid TV OS

A white-label, operator-first TV platform

RedSquid TV OS is a white-label, operator-first television software architecture that repositions the TV from a retail consumer device into a managed, operator-controlled service endpoint. The platform replaces the manufacturer’s stock software with an operator-branded stack pre-installed at the factory, super-aggregating linear TV, streaming, cloud gaming and other services into a single experience. Delivered as Platform-as-a-Service with ongoing updates, it lets operators reuse existing BSS/OSS with minimal modification. This paper covers the device layer, factory provisioning, runtime UI and aggregation architecture, backend integration, data and control plane, monetisation stack, edge AI subsystem, and deployment lifecycle.

Turning the TV into European Telcos' Next Growth Platform

A board-level strategy paper

A board-level case for telcos to pivot from subsidising set-top boxes to financing operator-branded, edge-AI TVs — and from channel ARPU to household lifetime value. Built around the rise of cognitive television (2026-2036), the paper argues for a pan-European consortium of PSBs, telcos, OEMs and adtech players around an open Agentic TV standard. It maps how fibre, in-device AI and operator-owned UIs become a multi-billion-euro growth engine, why hyperscaler-controlled screens put European sovereignty at risk, and how RedSquid's stack plus partners like Glow, DAD and Sharp make this actionable in the next twelve months.

From Aerials to Algorithms

A century of TV, and the decade ahead

Television enters its iPhone moment. Over the coming decade — what RedSquid calls the age of cognitive TV — fast fibre and on-device AI will turn the screen into an adaptive, conversational hub that personalises storylines, fuses content, commerce and the connected home, and unlocks new ad formats at the edge. As control drifts to a handful of platform owners, Europe's broadcasters, telcos and content makers risk a Nokia moment. This white paper sets out how operators can ride two converging waves — aerials to broadband, screen to cognitive hub — to reclaim the living room and lead TV's next century.

A UK Industry Manifesto for the Cognitive TV Era

From Baird's televisor to the next British TV revolution

A UK-focused call to action: the country that gave the world television in 1926 cannot watch from the sidelines as global platforms define its second century. As DTT multiplexes are decommissioned and AI moves to the edge of the TV set, the next 12 months — not the next decade — will decide who owns the British living room in the 2030s. Grounded in Ofcom's PSB findings and the UK industrial strategy, the manifesto argues for a UK-centred cognitive TV platform that unites telcos, PSBs, OEMs and silicon to lead globally again — as Baird did a century ago.
