Gaming as a managed service?

We have been doing a report for the regulator on the OTT-market. Our approach was to split services as follows (fixed and mobile have been thrown together - after all, networks are being fiberized while sharing the backhaul and long-haul and the access portion is becoming less relevant: copper, coaxial, fiber, 3G, 4G, WiFi):
  • Communication
    • Text-based (with or without pictures/video)
      • Managed
        • SMS
      • OTT
        • Email
        • Chat, IM
        • Social networking, (micro)blogging
    • Voice-based (with or without video)
      • Managed
        • Voice calling
      • OTT
        • VoIP
  • Entertainment
    • Video
      • Managed
        • Broadcast linear TV
        • Catch-up TV
        • VOD
      • OTT
        • Broadcast video
        • Catch-up TV
        • VOD
    • Gaming
      • Managed?
      • OTT
Gaming is an OTT service. Which operator will introduce gaming as a managed service?
