Pulling value by
unleashing geographic
market limits
Example #1: US Video on Demand:Forcing Abundance
Cable Networks• Forced to provide
programming to keep channels
Cable MSOs• Wanted it free to fight
satellite
Advertisers• Wanted data and
relevance
Audience• Glad for free content,
but not marketed well
Content Providers• Not paid
“TV Anywhere” –Brewing battle over
“Over the Top” InternetAccess to content
Example #2: Video before Ad Market
Source: Universal McCann Wave4 7/09
Myth of the $25 CPM:Hulu
Vevo/YouTubeVeoh
Vs. iTunes/iPad Splinternets
Example #3: My Abu Dhabi Class
• Abundant content (Arabic and English) around country borders: Lebanon, Saudi, US Syndication– Knew Oprah, Disney
• Online and Cable Content “filtered” by government• Global Long Tail: Connected and sold their media
content all over the world, cross culture• No material ad business for print or Internet yet –
nothing to pay for this…yet
