NABC example Video on demand value proposition
Need
Movie rental is a 500 Mio Euro business. The part people dislike is
to return tapes and late fees.
Approach
We will provide VOD via the cable system with access to all the
tittles of MovieMAX. The system uses existing channels and
hardware. Customers need no new investments and pay the same price
for a movie as in the rental shop.
Benefits
End-user: no need to return movies; no more late fees. Same
functions as with a DVD player: fast forward, trailers,
..etc.
Customer: Higher revenue per movie with higher margin; 20% market
share expected.
Competition
Competition : we have patented the distribution and VCR like
features for VOD
alternatives : Netflix et al. -> on-line rentals have higher
handling costs (0.75 Euro per movie). Sending the tape back is as
inconvenient as returning it.
