I'll second this. From my personal experience, I occasionally try to see some stuff from the Youtube channels, but for one really good video there’s lots of stuff that really doesn’t appeal to me. And I can’t really say nothing about Netflix, since it is not available in Portugal. There is already lots of good independent production out there, amateur or professional. I just don’t know how and where to find it. The solution, thus, is simple: * Develop a boxee like setup box for around 50$/50€ with an internet connection; * Distribute it around the world, no region locking whatsoever; * Have a really good recommendation engine, based on social or whatever. It should allow you to input ‘titles’ that may not be available on the platform, but work as a ‘preference indicator’ (for example, ‘I like House and Battlestar Galactica’) * It should allow for social subtitling, perhaps even with a reward system - for free; * Charge 1€/1$ or less per paid TV episode, 2€ or less for film. Better yet, 10€/$ flatrate per device. But make the device still useful for anyone not willing to pay for that, with lots of properly selected free content; * Commercials are acceptable: one brake per half an hour, not more than one minute : for non-paying customers. This is not something terribly innovative (except for the recommendation system), but properly implemented it could be quite disruptive.
