Television was a one-way medium - big broadcasters pushing content into our living rooms at a specific time and place. Not anymore. Online video has arrived. Thanks to growing bandwidth, easy access to the means of production, and cheap storage, it's exploding all around us and becoming a very real, very different way to experience news and entertainment. Gone is top-down broadcasting.
Some people look at the sheer amount of material (Video on Demand = VOD) and see a mess. But we also see, amid the flood of content and competing delivery services, a new medium emerging, one with fewer gatekeepers, more producers, and - somewhere - something for everyone. And that's the point: The mess is the message.

Thanks for stopping by my blog Asianbiz. I have another blog too called
SouthAsiaBiz and here I cover
regularly about INternet and mobile phone related issues. I liked your this post
about Video on demand and I can tell you that this market will have a huge
increase in the next 5 years and much of the growth will come from India and
China. Recently, Jerry Yang has
predicted that India will become one of the top 3 internet markets in the
next 5 years
