Why are these services called OTT? The article says what the acronym stands for but not what it means.

OTT stands for over-the-top, initially named in reference to devices that go “over” a cable box to give the user access to TV content. In OTT channels, content is delivered via an internet connection rather than through a traditional cable/broadcast provider.

I guess that explains it, although it's still kind of a weird acronym to use since "over-the-top" already has a different colloquial meaning.

I read that last week. Makes much more sense of their end mission. They may have a shot at the NFL ticket next year
