I was actually thinking more of using ... and I shit you not... the really old school Aol model (you get 40 hours a month! Of the internet!) for more of the cheaper versions.
Everyone gets x hours a month, the system wide number of hours watched on them gets paid out to the channel providers as our users would have fairly watched that amount..
- PeterisP 14y agoYou can do non-standard billing to your customers, but don't expect to do non-standard billing to the channel providers. If your subscriber watched 5 minutes of our football game last month, we'll invoice you full price for that subscriber for that month, thank you very much. Fairness doesn't matter - you can have different pricing terms if can you convince content owners that this will result in more $ per subscriber than before. More subscribers is not an argument - they'll assume that each your subscriber is cannibalized off some other provider, so you'll have to extract as much or more from each subscriber.
