Asian Market Video Streaming Examined By CASBAA In Video...


The Cable & Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia (CASBAA) has released the full version of an insightful documentary video examination of Online Video in China, Japan & Korea.

CASBAA also released an additional in-depth Data Pack related to the video, available exclusively to its members. The high-value information package highlights the dramatic impact of authorized (and unauthorized!) streaming video services across Asian markets. The Data Pack contains essential supporting documentation for the CASBAA video, featuring in-depth insights from 16 media market innovators and includes an executive summary. According to CASBAA, China, Japan, and Korea will drive the next wave of online video development. China will draw further attention as it emerges as the largest wired broadband market in the world with 190 million connections in 2012. The CASBAA Data Pack to members shows that home access accounts for 74.1 percent of all connections in China, while Internet Cafés are the source of access for almost 40 percent of the youth market. Some 75 percent of respondents to a survey conducted by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) indicate they share the network video of all kinds with other netizens. Meanwhile, 33.2 percent of South Koreans are watching movies online in some form and, according to a recent survey by the Korean Film Council, this is having a devastating effect on the domestic DVD and movie industries. Some 47 percent of the all respondents had illegally downloaded feature movies without paying, or paid less than 50 cents per title during the past year.
