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 />
