The Symbiotic Video Value Chain
The video delivery value chain can resemble a symbiotic system comprised of Online Video Content Providers, Content Delivery Networks, Network Operators and Consumers.

The story behind our name and logo
The inspiration for the new Qwilt symbol was a common quilt pattern which forms a diamond shape made from cropped squares. These square shapes also allude to pixels found in any screen-based image or video.
