- 14. Watch Now (Netflix) Rolling out a service where users can watch a certain number of hours per month online, based on their DVD rental plan. This is in addition to their DVD rentals. $17.99 plan/3 DVDs per month, 18 hours of viewing. Service is 2 years in the making. Spent $5 to $10 million last year to build. Will spend $40 million this year. Will launch with 1,000 titles.

- 15. Watch Now (con't) This will be a phased roll out occurring from Jan 07 to Jun 07. Plan to expands service to any Internet enabled device, including cellphones. By end of 2007, plans 4.2 million subscribers out of their 8 million total. The company does not plan to sell movies via download.

- 16. Long Tail & Netflix 30% of Netflix rentals are new releases, 70% of Blockbuster rentals are new releases. Both have the same customer demographics. Netflix has positioned itself to purchase exclusive distribution rights through Red Envelope. Netflix uses its extensive data mine of customer preferences to determine viability of hard to market titles.

- 17. Long Tail & Netflix (con't) Netflix has become vital to the independent film business. Netflix is doing what college film societies did in the 60's and the 70's. Creating audiences for new European films and old European masters. Netflix has created exclusive deals with NBC to make The West Wing , Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip , and Kidnapped available to Netflix subscribers 6 weeks before their network TV preview.
- 18. Deloitte POV PC VOD services will have limited success in the short-term. It will take a decade before broadband speeds make PC VOD w orthwhile. For now, streaming seems to provide the best results. VOD is best deployed for non-blockbuster content that video stores cannot stock due to limited demand. Yet, there will still be an increasing simultaneous release of PC VOD and DVDs.

- 19. Deloitte POV Media companies should not rely on the long tail to rekindle the appeal of every title in their archive. Search tools (pull) and recommendations (push) are still rudimentary. These will continue to improve over time. “ The public's readiness to pay for content varies between geographies, changes over time and its influenced by a growing range of factors, from technology to disposable income.” As far as long tail & media are concerned, a bricks has room for the top 20, clicks the top 10, and mobile the top 5.
- 20. Additional POV The big revenue is in DVD sales and not DVD rentals. This worries studio execs. (What does it mean for VOD?) 10 years ago TV programs had limited means of revenue via broadcasting. The DVD market has changed that. Some downloadable films are more expensive than their DVDs & offer less features. A higher quality IPTV is coming fast & should be a $13 billion market by 2010.

- 21. Additional POV (con't) Emerging media is creating sub-niche audiences. In the Internet world it is better to specialize that become too broad. There are 1000s of filmmakers who say they cannot find distributors and 1000s of distributors who cannot find quality films. On demand viewing for TV audiences has created new markets. Segments missed during normal viewing time can be watched later and prevent audience decline. BBC iPlayer users viewed programs they normally wouldn't have time to watch. This was due to it's on-demand content.
- 22. Search & Recommendation Recommendations cannot be driven purely by technology nor historical purchases. Customer ranking, purchasing history and archivists suggestions make the best search and recommendation tools. Tagging of content will be key to success in any search or recommendation. Sophisticated tools exist to scan blogs, chat rooms, bulletin boards and other forums to ascertain what video content interests users. Title: Media Predictions, TMT Trends 2007, Auhor: Brightman, Igal, Source: Deloitte: Technology, Media & Telecommunications, p11 & p16
- 23. Recommendation Become a distributor for independents before Netflix. Offer DRM free downloads. Create detailed customer data profiles of customers in audio and video. Offer promotional trial periods & free downloads. Target set-top boxes, institutional markets, retailers, IPTV networks. Become a player in own right or be acquired later for rights. Create a video genome project?
