Editor's Notes
#5: What exactly does needs imply here? Comprehensive and unbiased search, discovery features further drive engagement, statistically more channels in more genres than competitors launched 1k channels in 2014
#17: Need to support varied pace. Different certification processes, we need to be ready for fixes or enhancement practically all the time.
#21: Roku is also unique in that firmware and OS release schedules need to be aligned with cloud services
#25: Planning to expose partner integration for RPM.
