i understand. i imagine the "subscription" model more as a "nuisance-free" option. to start (or an "up-sell". if you prefer), rather than a "subscription" brand
1) to get ultrahd/4k content ad-free (like hulu-model)
- and not all their content (as described in earlier post)
2) also. considering also streams hd content (nanoflix. vodwiz)
- and we know ultraflix is being positioned as uhd/4k (but they stream "best avail". and offer an hd setting)
understand. i'm not implying ultraflix "subscription service" compete with amazon. netflix. or other subscription services like hbo
i see ultraflix. or spin-off product. as a hybrid (potentially. or as i said before..... leveraged into other product(s). partnership(s)....)
besides, when netflix started. they had really crappy movies. perhaps ntek can establish itself -- or a spin-off product. tier of product -- or get away with "sub-par" content. for the 1st year or few. while ultrahd/4k is a novelty (and not quite fully a mature market). this ad-free approach would be another means of leveraging their content imho
another possibility
perhaps ntek streams sub-sub content for others (for a small dist fee). using their bitrate advantage. anti-piracy tech. other features
ntek is versatile. and ultraflix has many advantages others don't. why have one iteration? view? market strategy?
btw - i'm not in disagreement about the subscription model.costs. upfront payments. distribution-model/timelines, et. al. i wouldn't even call it a "subscription service" per se. i'd market it as "ad-free content/service option"
there is a way to build that business. think outside the box. get the revenue support (of a "subscription model" as you "build the business" -- and maybe some day, or two - seven years down the road, ntek will come to that "subscription-model" fork - and take it)
for now we have speculation. options. discussion. as the ultrahd/4k tv market (and distribution platform/methods get built - job #1 as previously discussed)
