At the intersection of technology, finance and the Pacific Rim.
The NY Times reviews the new service called Movie Beam which has been launched by Disney, Intel, and others. I would like to hear your comments in class as to whether you think this kind of service is commercially viable. Would you consider using the service? Why or why not? What would be the key buy decision factors?

I have been at the intersection of IT, Finance and the Pacific Rim for the past 20 years in banking, venture capital, private equity and academia. My recent interests are in the application of technology, especially the internet, in emerging markets.

I think that movie beam will find it hard to get a expected marketshare.
The weakness of current pay view program is that it is not customized.
With the movie beam, of course you have 100 movie title.
However, if you are such a movie-goer and have seen almost half or more than half of 100 movies 2 or 3 months ago, will you really want to go for a movie beam?
I will rather go to DVD store and get a dvd that i am interested in.
I think the problem is that movie beam is still broadcasting rather than narrowcasting.
They have to find their own way to differentiate the product.

Interesting.. I actually thought this was an interesting service! I'm not much of a movie goer, and thus rarely walk to a video/dvd store. There are many times when I just lope around my house complaining that cable doesn't offer a good selection of movies. Although there is a $200 box fee, I believe the cost will pay off for the numerous number of years I'll be using the service. And without doubt, I anticipate the picture quality will improve with time.
Hallo I absolutely adore your site. You have beautiful graphics I have ever seen.
