France Channel dans trois nouveaux pays en 2022 !

 France Channel dans trois nouveaux pays en 2022 !

Lancée à l'été 2021aux Etats-Unis, France Channel cible les Américains francophiles. Cette plateforme de SVOD mise sur la diversité de son offre de contenus français pour séduire grand public et distributeurs.

 Le fondateur, Julien Verley, un ancien de France Télévisions, et Isabelle Carpentier-Oudart, VP, se donnent six mois pour élargir sa distribution, tout en préparant une levée de fonds pour lancer France Channel TV dans trois nouveaux pays (Canada, UK & Ireland). 

Sotellifacts Magazine : Lancé en août dernier aux Etats-Unis, France Channel, votre service de SUOD dédié aux programmes français, vient d'être repris sur la plateforme américaine Struum. Quel bilan tirez-vous après 6 mois ? 

Julien Verley: France Channel a réalisé un très bon démarrage, plutôt méme au-delà de ce qu'on pensait, compte tenu d'un lancement marketing et d'une com-munication plutôt limités. Avant méme le lancement sur Struum, la plateforme enregistrait plusieurs milliers d'abon-nements, avec un cceur de cible améri-cain à plus de 80 Ab. Un client sur cinq a contracté un abonnement annuel, c'est plutôt bon signe. l'autre bonne nouvelle est que nos clients se situent dans tous les Etats-Unis - à l'est, à l'ouest et au centre, du Michigan à Hawaï en passant par le Texas et la Louisiane. Ce lancement a permis de tester le produit grandeur nature sous un angle technique, mais les retombées vont plus vite que prévu. On est mème en avance de Phase.

A little bit about Netgem @ DTG Summit 2022 – Television Beyond Imagination.

Television Beyond Imagination 

DTG Summit 2022

Join us on May 5th 2022 at King's Place, London, for a day of insight, intelligence and imagination!

"A little bit about Netgem

Netgem TV brings the content streaming super-aggregator model to life for operators and ISPs through our core values. Value, choice, simplicity.
Netgem TV delivers a unique and unified experience across TV and mobile, offering access to the best digital TV, music and video streaming services across the biggest names in local broadcasters and global content players.

What’s the most exciting project coming up for Netgem?
We’re excited to deliver the next generation of TV aggregation service, even more relevant in this time of wallet crunch: Stream big, spend small.
We bring together free and great value content with a sophisticated yet simple discovery across all Linear broadcast channels, IP FAST channels, and on-demand streaming titles.
With Viva Smart launched in France, ZeopTV in La Reunion, Elisa Viihde 4K in Finland, Post TV in Luxembourg, the world of ‘full IP across multiple screens’ is now a reality, and we are working on bringing the same level of experience to the UK on Netgem TV.

What are you most excited for at the DTG Summit 2022?
We’re excited to meet new organisations and people from the content industry which is an essential part of our business. It is all the more exciting as this year’s event isn’t virtual! We are looking forward to catching up with all those present and getting the opportunity to share strategic perspectives based on other market developments to stimulate the UK TV ecosystem.

What does Television Beyond Imagination look like for Netgem?
In fact, it means that the constraints for the consumer are removed, whilst protecting the value for content owners: simple discovery, immediate access, and freedom to watch. Similar to the super-aggregator model we launched in France 3 years ago, ‘Television Beyond Imagination’ means that you offer what consumers expect. Simple access to any content, live or on-demand on the screen they want, without barriers such as multiple authentication mechanisms or dependency on a particular content delivery method. Viewers should be able to quickly access and simply discover what is relevant to them at the time they want. Less time searching, more time watching.

What is the biggest issue you think we can address together through cross-industry collaboration?
The paradox of the UK content industry is that it is jam-packed with very high-quality content, especially from the Public Service Broadcasters, yet it lacks simplicity in the distribution model across platforms, which results in an experience which remains fragmented for viewers:
Why does someone need a TV aerial to enjoy BBC1 when they have 1Gigabit speed full-fibre broadband which in many cases has been sold by telcos as the way to “stream entertainment freely”?
Why does someone need to log on to 5 different players to enjoy content across different catch-up apps, even on platforms which are designed to aggregate BVoD players?
Why is the experience so different between different Broadcaster services: Restart sometimes available, some box sets vs. short-life 7 day window etc…
The biggest issue is the speed of change to move to TV as modern viewers expect it – which is already in place in the USA and on the Continent in Europe.

Tell us something people might not know about Netgem.
Netgem’s vision of a fully integrated and truly aggregated TV service which combines the best of live and on-demand from both the Public Service Broadcasters and the entertainment streaming services, actually already exists!
Netgem has indeed implemented for years the full IP, full features (nPVR, nReplay, startover etc.) public broadcast in markets such as France, Luxembourg or Switzerland. With regards
to the aggregation of streaming services including Alexa Universal Search and personal recommendations across all content sources, it is already live in the UK and Ireland on the Netgem TV service.
All we need now is the right context to bring it all together in the UK market."

2021: Apple TV+ in risk of millions of cancellations (appealing Netgem TV... VideoFutur...)

According to nScreenNoise (16 Dec, 2020), Apple TV+ needs a content infusion to avoid millions of cancelations.

"It has been over a year since Apple TV+ launched, and most of its 40 million subscribers are taking advantage of a free year of service. 

What will they do when it comes time to pay? Without a huge Apple TV plus content injection, millions will hit the exits."

(...)

"Things are not looking good for 2021. Apple TV+ has had no breakout hit; it has slow content flow and a tiny library."

       Services (available @ apple app store) like:

=>   NETGEM TV (at UK) 

        

or

=>  VideoFutur (at France) 

      

     may be a much better value!

"Infrastructures numériques : la relance coûterait 11 milliards d’euros

"...
(02.07.2020) La fédération industrielle Infranum a présenté aujourd’hui un vaste plan de relance pour permettre à la filière de rebondir après le Covid-19. L’aide des pouvoirs publics est sollicitée à hauteur de 7 milliards d’euros.

...

La fibre pour tous, chantier n°1 11 milliards d'euros, une somme, et c'est la généralisation de la fibre optique qui en constitue le principal poste. 

=> Pour couvrir, en 2025, 97% des locaux du territoire en FttH ou FttE (fibre jusqu'au domicile ou à l'entreprise), 5,3 milliards d'euros seront encore nécessaire, calcule InfraNum, sur la base d'une étude réalisée par Ernst & Young et le cabinet spécialisé Tactis. 3 milliards seraient à prendre en charge par la filière, le reste par les pouvoirs publics au travers des différents dispositifs de financement du plan France THD. Dont ces fameux 400 millions d'aides de l'Etat réclamés à cors et à cris par industriels et collectivités pour couvrir le déploiement de 3 millions de lignes non encore financées en zone rurale, toujours sans succès. 
=> En sus, InfraNum identifie 150 millions d'euros pour soutenir le déploiement des technologies d'accès à Internet alternatives qui doivent permettre d'atteindre l'objectif 100% Très Haut Débit à fin 2022.
...
Notamment un ambitieux programme de développement et d'harmonisation des Smart Territoires, identifié comme l'un des enjeux clé aux côtés de la transformations numérique des entreprises, de l'emploi et de l'export. Coût total de ces mesures : 11 milliards d'euros, dont 7 milliards à apporter par l'Etat, les collectivités ou les fonds européens...."
