Some analysts question whether VoD can be as profitable as broadcast TV. The dual costs of piping internet video into the home and licensing content from producers - both paid out on a per-view basis - "may call into question the level of profits that can be made in the long term" from VoD, says David Cockram of Oliver & Ohlbaum, a media consultancy. "More people are taking more of the pie."

Broadcasters already have to pay companies providing "content delivery networks" to ensure their on-demand programming reaches viewers in good quality and without loading-time delays mid-video. Every time a programme is viewed online through their VoD services, the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and other broadcasters pay a CDN provider such as Akamai, Level 3 or, soon, BT.

Today, one half-hour programme costs between 2p and 5p to stream through a CDN every time it is viewed. That may not sound much, but with the BBC iPlayer serving up almost 60m TV shows in November, a broadcaster's CDN costs could already exceed £1m a month.

irst, it’s great to see that the internet is capable of such a high amount of live concurrent users of streaming media.

However, acros all platforms (including FM/AM), the total ‘live concurrent users’ for radio peaks at 17.6 million (between 08:00 and 08:30, weekday mornings, according to RAJAR q4/2008).

Apple's market share is slipping: it accounted for nearly three-quarters ( 74.4%) of all online movie sales in 2009. Its competitors are taking a few bites here and there: Microsoft has increased its market share from 11.6% to 17.9%. It offers titles via the X-Box 360 and Microsoft Zune. Sony, which sells movies online through the PlayStation 3 player and select Sony Bravia HDTVs, has gone from 5.7 % to 7.2% in 2010.
