Disney is mulling whether to offer their own subscription VOD service.
Bob Iger said Walt Disney Co is considering creating a subscription-based online movie and TV rental service from the company’s huge video library. It could be an online Disney video club that mails DVDs or downloads video files to members.
I see a trend where Hollywood studios and cable companies wanting to offer their own web video or VOD service. This is a natural tendency of wanting to control distribution. But web video is not about controlling distribution but about frictionless syndication. If I can all the movies from Netflix and all the TV content from Hulu why would I subscribe to Disney service?
