Another in the coming deluge of video sites…
Jalipo is a new online video site launched recently, with news content from the BBC World, Al Jazeera English, movies, live events etc. It’s clearly a controlled space, without the “webcam” movies and over-compressed shorts of YouTube.
“This is absolutely not for user-generated content. If you were looking to put us into the marketplace, I would put us at the other end of the market to YouTube. This is rights protected, territory restricted and monetized every minute.”
It’s also pay for play, with a user having to purchase “JCredits” at $1.35 to $1.50 per hour to watch nearly anything. I couldn’t even find a free sample show to watch without paying. 
Althought the advertising model has it’s own challenges, I can’t image that this pay content will take off sharply anytime soon. There are too many free alternatives as of now.
Are you currently paying for online video content?
