摘要

Video applications over broadband have emerged over the last couple years as Internet media companies and content producers seek to exploit the added speed and capacity of broadband infrastructure. The killer application on these networks is video based communication, mainly produced by users themselves. Online video consumption is already producing promising statistics; in the USA, around one in every three videos watched online is done via a Google property (primarily YouTube) – evidence that this industry leader continues to dominate. In 2008 new business models are beginning to emerge around the world as the players competing in the digital media space begin to seriously take note. This report provides an introduction to online Video Media entertainment and includes analyses, statistics and forecasts. For information on DVRs and IPTV, see separate reports.
