Abstract: In the past, nearly every dollar that television networks used to earn came from commercials. However, with the fragmentation of the market, advertisers were growing reluctant to pay for a general audience who were tuning out from their messages. As a result, top US television networks like NBC Universal, CBS Broadcasting and ABC had abandoned their age-old policies and practices of broadcasting, to make available their top shows via video on demand (VOD) services. At the end of 2004, there were 7.5 million cable-based VOD users worldwide, and the number was expected to grow to 13 million by the end of 2005 and 34 million in 2009. But one thing was missing – the business model.
