Opportunities for Emerging Digital Media

In their latest report, Research and Markets predicts that Video on Demand (VoD) services will reach 350 million homes across the world by 2010.

"Instead they are more interested in new services such as provided by Internet, online services, pay-per-view and on-demand services."
