Broadband Pushes Music & VoD Growth

Posted: 26th Mar, 2003 By: MarkJ
UK broadband Internet access services are having a positive impact on music and Video-on-Demand (VoD) growth; at least they are for VidZone:

VidZone, the enterprising video on-demand website, confirmed today that it is the UK's leading music video subscription service offering a legitimate alternative to Grokster, KaZaA and other illegal peer-to-peer services

"Through our eight broadband partnerships, VidZone has become the leading authorised destination website to view music videos aggregated under a consumer brand," says CEO of VidZone and former Head of BMG Video International, Adrian Workman. "We have negotiated the online streaming rights for the latest music video releases from R.E.M. to Eminem."

VidZone originally launched in June 2002 on RealOne's European subscription service as part of a bundled package of 12 channels retailing at £9.99 per month.

Through the RealOne browser, VidZone subscribers can save their favourite videos within a unique Video Jukebox Playlist that enables the end user to create personalised video compilations on their desktop. The Playlist allows consumers to customise on-demand entertainment, and also gives them direct access to their favourite artist's catalogue whenever they want it.

Recent distribution agreements include the following eight major UK broadband portals via subscription only - NTLWorld, RealOne, Freeserve Broadband, BT Openworld, Dotmusic, Tiscali Broadband, Blueyonder and BT Broadband.

VidZone attributes the significant monthly uptake of high-speed Internet connections (currently 105,000 new connections per month) as to why streamed visual entertainment is fast becoming the standard in satisfying the UK's household penetration of 1.6m broadband Internet subscribers

VidZone is currently in discussions with several leading European broadband ISP's to broaden the company's distribution in the pan-European online market and will look to participate in two forthcoming 3G mobile phone trials.
