- Product Description
- For people who enjoy short-form digital entertainment and want unlimited choice and power over their experience, ffwd is your personal remote control for the interactive video web that makes navigating options as simple as channel surfing and more powerful than search. Freeing you from information overload of the web and one-size-fits-all approach of cable, ffwd offers a personalized adaptive lineup of channels organized by the entire web video audience and available from any web-enabled device.
- Market Opportunity
- Estimated $100-$300 million in 2-3 years; and over a billion after 5 years. Even if cable advertising shrinks by 90% and subscription revenue goes away, the remaining is $3 billion. If ffwd shares the market, that still leaves the company with $1 billion. (National Cable & Telecommunications Association http://www.ncta.com/Statistic/Statistic/Statistics.aspx)
