On Demand Internet streaming media companies like, Netflix, HOOQ, are adopting a new business model to address the pain points of customers. They are moving away from advertisement led revenue model to a subscription based model. This ensures that they can deliver advertisement free content. Netflix a proponent of subscription based model.
Viewers, by subscribing to Netflix, can consume advertisement free content at a time convenient to them, on a device of their choice, with the flexibility of consuming the content on the go! And the greatest benefit – they can personalize the content.
Are there more innovations likely in the future. Indeed yes – Internet TV will replace traditional TV, apps will replace channels, single screens will give way to proliferation of screens. And there would be absolute personalization of content for every viewer.

This business deserve this. Indian TV Broadcasting business is a cartel of thieves. Their attitude is not customer-centric but Profit-Centric. These thieves wanna adopt Dual Model in India. They are already following Dual Model. At one place channels are paid (Subscription) and at the other end we have to watch those useless advertisements. This is nothing but robbing off the common man. In simple words its a malpractice. Any business which do not follow ethics does not sustain for long time.

Sanjana I agree with you that most companies under the guise of customer centricity profiteer. Also business which do not follow ethics may nor survive in the long run. The new age organisation are embracing a new business model for doing business - conscious capitalism. Do read my post tomorrow where I talk about this concept. You would find it interesting.
