The use case of OMAP, which was created for the TVE (TV Everywhere) use case, seems to be different than the ones for content distribution.

In OMAP, the player is directly interacting with the content distributor and the content distributor has to "redirect" the player to MVPD (content owner) to prove access to resource.

In the content distribution world, the user is coming to the content distributor (CDN) after having interacted with and directed by the content owner.
