Viewers get sold on video on demand

Article Abstract:

Sales of video-on-demand in Canada are expected to touch $170 million this year, spiraling from $85 million in 2004. By 2007, the sales are predicted to soar to $ 450 million. Cable companies, including Rogers Communications Inc., Shaw Communications Inc., Cogeco Inc., and Videotron Ltee, which are offering video-on-demand services, are expanding their markets in expectation of rising revenues. The business of conventional video stores has not been affected so far, and two of the biggest stores, Blockbuster Inc. and Rogers Video, state that there is scope for both types of services to exist.
