Chapter 3 explores how people engage the ideas of geography and belonging within geoblocked online video-on-demand platforms. A form of regional lockout for the internet age, geoblocking is the practice of barring a user from an online platform based on the user’s geographic location. Through illustrative case studies—geoblocking in Australia and New Zealand, the debates over the geoblocked BBC iPlayer platform, and the European Union’s recent attempt to ban geoblocking among its countries’ borders—this chapter argues that geoblocking represents an arena where consumers, industries, and regulators negotiate the realities of national and regional control over digital entertainment platforms versus fantasies of a globally open internet. The chapter shows that consumers’ vocalized frustrations about lack of access as well as industry and regulatory decisions about distribution and technology are based in ideas regarding the economic and cultural value of certain territories. This chapter illustrates how geoblocking structures inequalities in access to cultural resources.

The article covers the issues surrounding the global Internet TV market’s evolution during the COVID-19 pandemic. The rapid changes in the modern Internet television market mean that an in-depth analysis of its development strategies is necessary for further development. The article goes over current trends that affect the development of the industry, and the factors that have led to its changes listed. Today, the main directions of the development of Internet television include multi-screen, video on demand, and the evolution of streaming platforms. This phenomenon became possible by the growing convergence of the Internet and television. The main driving force of the industry has become the so-called streaming services that provide content to subscribers anywhere and anytime — the main requirement to access it being the Internet. The battle for audiences has become truly international. But due to quarantine in many countries, most viewers have drastically changed their habits. Home entertainment has been taking first place, and television became one of them. For the first time in years, TV channel ratings have doubled, movie premieres have been delayed, and sports events around the world have come to a standstill. Audiences turned to those who could offer them the best content. The article examines trends caused by the pandemic, such as a significant increase in Internet traffic, the halting of movie and TV series production, a decrease in the number of sports games and related events, streaming services changing their tariff plans, and the subscription payment model taking leadership in the video-on-demand market. Both the negative and positive effects of these factors on television service providers’ activities, as well as the new habits of subscribers are analyzed. This situation has completely changed the industry, but it has only helped the business of large and local operators. Companies around the world have had to improve their service in a matter of weeks. These changes in the market would have taken years under normal conditions, but the pandemic has significantly accelerated the progress of Internet television and made it possible for end-users to get high-quality services.

The undeniable development of the television series sector in recent years has resulted in viewers having access to a large amount of television content, thanks largely to the development of technologies such as the internet and the emergence of video on demand. Given the scarcity of academic works that categorise these television contents, this chapter comes to conceptually delimit the television drama genre, as well as its different sub-genres. With this, the authors seek to centralise in a single academic work the main characteristics of each dramatic sub-genre that causes a series to be ascribed to a certain category, serving as a guide for potential academic works related to this growing sector.

Public service broadcasters (PSBs) are operating in a media landscape in which the increased convergence of the Internet and television has blurred the distinctions between broadcast and on-demand TV. In this environment, people can switch easily between live/linear and on-demand viewing within the same interface and access television content through a range of online and Internet-connected services. This chapter suggests that the case for PSB becomes stronger as traditional broadcast and Internet services merge. In a fully commercial media landscape, economically disadvantaged audiences are under-served because they are less able to pay for services and less attractive to advertisers. By providing free-to-air content, PSBs ensure that video-on-demand serves all of the UK public with high-quality programming that entertains, educates, and informs.

Consumer loyalty is a key measure of achievement. Despondent clients will not be staying around the service. When there are unhappy clients once in a while voice their disappointment before leaving. Streaming administration, motion pictures, and television shows are gushing over the internet, not being downloaded, so we should be associated with the internet all through your watch instantly experience. Hence, to help them recognize to “disappointed clients” from the get-go in their relationship. Doing as such would permit streaming administration to find a way to enhance “client’s joy” before it’s excessively late. To distinguish the purposes behind clients who are producing from the spilling administration furthermore anticipating what number of clients will get stick around the gushing administration.
