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.
