VOD is dead. I'd hate to work at one right now. They have to be nervous.
1. How do you define VOD is dead, as long as their is premium content for which people are willing to pay then VOD is their.

What is happening in this space is same thing that happened with TV. Their are 3 models

1. People will pay for ad free and compelling content
2. People are willing to watch some advertisement for free content
3. Then their is a mix (you pay and still you watch ad)

Have you guys checked band width prices lately? The amounts of money a main stream advertiser will pay for CPM on these ads are insane. So the you tube model will work, the major issue you tube has is with the content. For example when you send a tape to America?s funniest videos and if they want to air it, you sign a 25 page release contract, get a lawyer involved etc, well you don?t do that on you tube. Now that?s the worrying part, when people smell money, lawyers move in.

Trust me on this, I make a living out of this hahaha61514;
