With respect , I would have to suggest your assumptions are significantly flawed

1. Content is a fixed cost with minimum guarantees . SVOD in developing markets is around $2 per subscribers with a minimum commitment of 100k subs a month or $200k . Studios also want 3 months set a side as the guarantee .


2. Linear content is also a fixed cost again at minimum commitment . Due to local content, costs would be around $2 a month per sub with a minimum of 100 k subs or $200k a month

3. TVOD is a minimum commitment or revenue based on 85:15 revenue split . This could be as little as a commitment of $50k a mont

4. In APAC ingest and storage is challenged as there is no glacier storage . So storage is in S3 the most expensive .

Do the calculation of 2000 content library @a file size of 8GB with 20% being refreshed each month

5. cDN costs - using most CDN this will be around &5 to $10 USD per customer for streaming at around 20 hrs a month . So $5 a month @ 100@ customers

6. I have not included cost of VM for billing, content management or device management


I’m summary this is an expense Business
