Internet TV Companies Should Play by New Rules, Executive Says

(Beijing) -- The Internet TV industry has ran into policy barriers lately, with major players finding it hard to implement plans to take over the living room, which has long been dominated by the traditional TV industry.

In July, officials ordered Internet TV and set-top box makers to remove certain unauthorized content and content from commercial video websites. A month earlier, the regulator asked licensed content providers, such as BesTV New Media Co. and Wasu Group, to cut access to third-party apps, which were usually from certain online video websites.
