RoomKey is also late and has extremely limited pricing options by existing contracts. Obviously, customers want the lowest price, but (as I understand it) RoomKey can't show the lowest price! How does RoomKey expect to gain market share with an unknown service that has higher prices?
One example of the joint venture model working in the content space is Hulu, owned by:
NBCUniversal (30%)
Fox Entertainment Group (30%)
Disney–ABC Television Group (30%)
Turner Broadcasting System (10%)

- rhizome 10y agoIt might be interesting to compare the partnership agreements vis-a-vis Hulu and RoomKey to find where the weakness was in RoomKey, whether it was just "Huh, people turned out to like this Internet project, we better start micromanaging it," or if it was something more structural.
