1. I would like to highlight my views on Reliance-Disney Deal's Future Prospects

-> deal could lead the entity to a dominant presence across TV and OTT Platforms...But it might shape in monopolistic concerns.

-> Both the platforms have huge audience base which might enhance competitiveness in OTT platforms.

2. I liked how meticulously both the sides of the coin has been explained via SHOWTIME Framework i.e, favorable and adverse impact of digital platforms on entertainment industries.

What one can deal with is "Optimizing Individuals Content Consumption Habit".......We are leveraged with various OTT platforms and other entertainment channels and one must access content conviniently, discovvering new perspectives and experiences.
