Really good points Jack. I very much agree that Nielsen must (and I hope that they haven't walked away from this yet) get data from other device companies and not just lean on Roku and devices where Gracenote code is embedded. With Roku now owning that code, it is not likelyl that there will be active attempts to distribute it standalone on other devices for industry mneasurement needs.

Very good point Ed. For sure, of the streaming ivnentory that is being sold as or with linear inventory is skewing younger and giving them much more 18-49, if not 18-34, which will certainly get them some premium pricing on its own.

Ed, I totally agree that the premium media owners will sell a good part of their ad-supported streaming inventory on TV metrics. However, many of them are finding that they can sell at hihger CPM's in private digital marketplaces where they can get paid on all impressions (P2+, essentially) and can get some targeting premiums as well. In most cases, getting P2+ CPM's around $30.The reporting and measurement issues though, are because there is no one stream (or set of ads) that is deliivered synchroniously and consistently to everyone, since the apps, devvices, operating systems, ad servers and exchange platforms are so fragmented. That is the part that is so messy. Right now, the media owners don't have the leverage to clean it up. More likely, it will be folks like Roku, Google and Amazon. They have much "platform power."

I totally agree Tracey. This is a bbig boon for Nielsen One and means that no one else is likely to catch them in the viodeo ad measurement game in the US anytime soon. It also means that Nielsen One is certain to fully capture - and represent well - audiences and ads sold by Roku. If I were Disney, Amazon, YouTube and others, I'd now make sure that I'm sharing comparable data with Nielsen too.

James, excellent points. I totally agree. I beleieve that the more traditional media companies need to be much more practive in the market delivering insights and research about their audience, the impact of their media delivery and the many privacy-friendly targeting capabilities that they have today. What ThinkBox does in the UK and ThinkTV in Canada are great examples. Second, traditional media companies and ad execs need to call out the many faux claims of digitgal companies and hold them much accountble on things like "last click" attribution, which takes a lot of money away from other media that deserve it. Unfortunatley, too many traditional media folks are afraid of looking and sounding like Luddites, so they choose to remain silent.

Yes John, follownig the logic does point to a future will be increasingly narrow, limited and crowded for sure for those marketers that are data driven, etc. and that kind of future seems like a certainty.
