19. 19 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.
