After an exciting 2019, it may be a happy 2020 for Netflix, Hotstar and Amazon Prime

The year 2019 has certainly been an interesting one for the video-streaming industry — not only marking the end of a decade, but also for transforming the face of entertainment. This has been the year of the unusual: Netflix altered its global strategy to launch its first-ever mobile-only viewing plan in India; of all companies, Flipkart forayed into the OTT space with its free in-app video service Flipkart Video; and there were unforeseen content tie-ups between local OTT players — the likes of ALTBalaji and Zee5.
