From: kictanet [mailto:kictanet-bounces+seanm=aitecafrica.com@lists.kictanet.or.ke] On Behalf Of Baiju Shah via kictanet Sent: Friday, May 27, 2016 7:31 AM To: seanm@aitecafrica.com Cc: Baiju Shah <baiju@telemedia.co.ke> Subject: Re: [kictanet] EU PLANS TO LIFT BARRIERS ON INTERNET SHOPPING AND IMPOSE QUOTAS ON NETFLIX
Quotas is one thing what about free trade and demand from customers, have the regulators checked the consumer demand.
We work with a triple play provider in the Middle East and they have a 1,000 channels and n-VOD / VOD services.
We found that some of the channels would have been watched by 1 person may be once a month, some of the VOD assets never watched.
Therefore, the measure here is customer demand and organisations like Netflix are focused on the customer and have experts who evaluate your viewing habits to push content that you might like to watch and further work a away out to keep the customer loyal.
Not too sure what the Europeans are trying to promote in terms of local content that is poor, why doesn't European Union spend on marketing local content under a scheme of some sort. This will create demand not imposing a restriction on commercial organisations, think this is the wrong approach to begin with. May be they need to justify to the public they are doing something!
Thanks,
Best Regards, Baiju

(if they don't want to!) - so they can easily achieve any target % they have to meet. It's very different for broadcasters, though.
Any initiative which will improve and broaden our local content is welcome. I would like to see some local SciFi, sit-coms, thrillers etc. instead of a steadily increasing stream of boring soaps!
Cheers, Tony

Well.. they not only have but also actively encourage and develop local capacity to rival such products. For them I suppose it makes sense.

The EU announced plans to free internet shopping and ban geo-fencing. Netflix and Amazon are to adhere to a 20% local content requirement (Seems like these guys are case studying Kenya). :-)
