Kirchner noted that the company exited the DVR hardware business under the TiVo brand at the beginning of October.

Kirchner said the company achieved 30% sequential growth to finish with 4.8 million monthly active users and that the calculated ARPO for TO1 was $8.75, approaching the $10 goal the company is working toward as it exits 2025. In a 2016 presentation, Kirchner discussed the Internet of Things, describing it as a factor driving the satellite industry and people's lives. He cited estimates from GE and Accenture that the total economic impact of the Internet of Things and the industrial internet would be about 14 to 15 trillion dollars over 15 to 20 years. Kirchner stated that the cost of data, storage, and management appears to be approaching zero, and that sensors are becoming smaller and drawing less power. He expressed that a trillion connections is a believable number in the Internet of Things world and that the cost to space continues to fall as a key aspect driving the ecosystem.
