Video in India continues to be dominated by short format<br />
video and mostly ad funded. Over the last two years,<br />
there have been several launches of long format video on<br />
demand services with mixed success. Video on demand in<br />
India continues to suffer from four big challenges:<br />
• High bandwidth costs<br />
• Availability of cheap content on cable and satellite<br />
• Skepticism from content owners to license digital rights<br />
• Lack of clarity on revenue sharing arrangements<br />
However initial feedback on all new launches has been<br />
encouraging. There is clearly a huge unmet demand for<br />
good quality, long format content that can be viewed by a<br />
user on demand on any device – at a sensible price point.<br />
