Internet TV (Web-streaming)

Service providers can create their own web-channels and provide VoD services for users' attraction. Monetization opportunities are:  viewing commercials before films, recording VoD programs at extra cost, access to channels and films through personal cabinet from any PC with broadband Internet access worldwide.

One of the most popular topics today is User Generated Content. The monetization is vague here, but correct service positioning may attract many users which may become the service providers’ subscribers. Basic function: creation of groups by interests and location. Internet allows to combine communication, video viewing and other entertainment on one portal.
