The Roku Powered licensing program is designed to help operators grow their addressable market and reduce customer churn. Under the program, operators leverage the Roku streaming platform including the Roku OS, Roku Channel Store, and low-cost streaming players to deliver live TV and on-demand services to their customers. In partnership with Roku, operators develop their own streaming player by customizing the home screen, app store, and streaming player for their audiences. Roku provides ongoing software updates to the Roku OS, hosts the app store, and provides application development support and certification services. Today, the Roku Powered program enables operators to deliver streaming services to customers in Australia, Austria, Germany, Italy, Philippines, Republic of Ireland, Spain, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
