International TV Via the Internet
British Comedies, Japanese Cartoons, Indian Movies, these are just a few examples of television programs that have a broad appeal outside of their domestic markets. What we need now is a company that takes these local broadcasts and makes them available to the rest of the world. The Internet provides the perfect medium for such a task. In addition, instead of just streaming the original broadcast, this company needs to go a step further and splice out the original advertisements with ads specific to the native country they are being viewed in, as well as employing a staff to provide subtitles in the local language. This creates a triple-win situation for the company, its users, and the original TV broadcasting station. Users get the international content they want, instead of having to hope their shows will get translated or scrambling to import a copy. The company will make profits from advertisers and perhaps user subscription fees. The broadcasting stations will expand their viewing audience and make profits from already-existing content by licensing it out to the company distributing it across the web. Beautiful!
