Research and Markets has announced the addition of Global - Digital Media - Video Media to their offering. The convergence of telecoms, media and IT saw the arrival of Digital Media. This report focuses on some of the key online video applications. While the narrowband services have been around for several years, new video applications have now also emerged as the Internet media companies seek to exploit the added speed and capacity of broadband infrastructure. As speed and capacity increase, a whole new range of applications will continue to enter the market over the next decade. VoD and DVRs are both ways for subscribers to watch movies or TV programs whenever or wherever they want. However, rather than straightforward video-based entertainment, it is envisaged that the industry will produce new entertainment which will include new elements based on personalised and interactive video applications. This report provides an introduction to Video Media entertainment with a focus on VoD and includes analyses, statistics and forecasts.
