Global IPTV Growth Creates Opportunity…Even Now!

No, not everything is going to hell … so take heart!


























Matt McCall, Managing Director of VC firm DFJ Portage, notes that the internet is growing globally as the primary means of delivering television.

The statistics show strong adoption in China and Europe, but much weaker growth (essentially none) in the US.

Hong Kong 31%
Iceland 27%
Estonia 10%
France 10%
Cyprus 10%
Sweden 8%
S Korea 7%
US <1%

Growth in IPTV services and infrastructure creates significant opportunity for all of us that have innovative ways to deliver distribution, advertising, niche content, mobile integration, and a whole host of other related services.

LiveRail for Video Publishers

LiveRail is a unique online video distribution and ad-platform that aims to give power back to aspiring video publishers like us.

As an online video publisher, you face two key challenges. The first is how to monetize your content; the second is how to distribute it without signing away your copyrights or spending a fortune on bandwidth.

LiveRail takes a new approach to solve both these problems. By publishing your content through them, your video is streamed back exclusively to your own website, covering all your bandwidth costs, along with highly targeted, relevant and unobtrusive advertising, that your viewers only need to watch when it interests them.

We've applied as a publisher, to determine how it compares to a similar offering from AdBrite. They are our current video ad provider. This is what "You Know How To Love," a song video produced by me looks like and how it works in their Flash player:





Sloowwwwwwwww!!!
