They are changing the way digital content is created, distributed, consumed and monetized.

The Online Video report analyzes and compares the online video delivery channels that are creating both uncertainty and a sense of opportunity among media professionals.

Some players are fearful that the widespread availability of video content on the Internet will threaten the TV and film industries. Others see the potential to increase revenues through a variety of business models, including ad-supported streaming, pay-to-own downloads, subscription services and online rentals as a boon.
