The rapid advancements in audio and video services in recent years had fueled a strong demand for music and video entertainment. It also led to a set of challenges for service providers (SPs) such as protecting rights, preserving profits, and identifying the potential of new media, as well as consumers' inertia toward adoption of paid services and finding the right revenue model. This study covered Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan in identifying audio and video consumption behavior. It also looked into consumers' preferences toward paid services to evaluate obstacles and opportunities for service providers (SPs) as well as business sustainability, particularly in emerging media services."While paid content is facing some inertia from consumers, online and mobile media providers should nonetheless continue to introduce a mix of paid and unpaid content.. Paying per song would be more affordable for consumers that are not hardcore music fans, which could lower the barrier for consumers to accept paying for music. Once consumers overcome the initial inertia to pay for audio content by paying for each song, it could get easier to convert them to pay for access to the entire music database. Overall, payment for video content received low endorsement, probably because the market is still very nascent. IDC expects video paid services to gain more traction if online video SPs can set up a low-cost, easy-to-use system for users to download videos they just had to have for offline access, or to gain access to premium content over the Internet using PCs, " says Audrey Heng, market analyst, Emerging Technology Advisory Services, IDC/Asia/Pacific.

There is compelling evidence that there is a communications technology shift in financial services that will have a significant impact on how relationships are built and maintained. This effect will be analogous to the introduction of email. Just as email completely changed the way financial institutions communicate with their customers, their partners, and within their organizations, the coming video revolution will disrupt sales, marketing, product development, and other fundamental business processes.According to Sean O'Dowd, IDC Financial Insights senior analyst, "Financial institutions need to leverage video within their organizations to balance business imperatives and remain competitive as video technology proliferates over the coming years."
