		European VOD efforts, focused primarily in the telco space, have been hampered by numerous handicaps, beginning with the fallout from the telecommunications meltdown.
		VOD trials have been running in several Asian markets for about five years, but to date there have been no large-scale deployments.

	Video on Demand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
		VOD over cable raises different issues, both because the cable industry is already built upon video entertainment and because of the different technical characteristics of broadband distribution over cable networks.
		VOD is a direct alternative to this channel and could damage the studios’ control over their intellectual property by making films available for peer-to-peer file swapping over the Internet.
		VOD operating costs can be divided into capital repayment, content royalties and general operating expenses, which include marketing and customer acquisition, maintenance and customer support, and managing and developing the VOD offer.

	In Demand embraces VOD

	Researchers: VOD Ads Not Skipped
		If viewership of ads on VOD programming is just a bit lower than those figures, that would theoretically make it an attractive option for buyers who are increasingly frustrated with the cost and volume of advertising--along with the eroding audience--of broadcast TV.
		VOD, which the Yankee Group projects to reach 36.2 million homes in 2009, is typically sold to advertisers exclusively.
		For example, Turner Networks’ VOD programming, which reaches some 12 million homes, carries a 5-second ad bumper, a single upfront 30-second spot and the opportunity for a long-form commercial at the end of the broadcast.
