  • From Western TV Sets to Chinese Online Streaming Services: English-Language TV Series in Mainland China
    . Volume 16, Issue 2 November 2019 From Western TV sets to Chinese online streaming services: English-language TV series in mainland China Xiaoran Zhang, University of Nottingham, UK Abstract: In the age of multiple screens, online streaming has in the 2010s become the most significant way of consuming overseas television programs in Mainland China. Due to rather strict government policy and censorship, foreign television series are presently only legally distributed and circulated on licensed online streaming services. Focusing on the streaming of US/UK TV series, this paper examines online streaming services’ distribution activities in order to understand both streaming websites’ business practices surrounding transnational TV and the features they employ to cater to online audiences for these series. To grasp how the online distribution of English-language TV series operates in China, I begin by looking at China’s five major video streaming services, analyzing the design of their interfaces, scheduling of programs, and accessibility for different tiers of users. I then examine how streaming services use social media as a major tool to promote their US and UK TV series. Through this analysis, I argue that transnational TV flow has had to be localized to achieve distribution and marketing goals in a Chinese context, resulting in the uniqueness of these streaming practices. This article concludes that, with the development of online streaming technologies, distinctive modes of audience consumption in China have informed the localization of this specific transnational TV content. Keywords: Online streaming, streaming consumption, television distribution, transnational TV, Tencent Video, HBO, Game of Thrones Introduction As one of HBO’s most successful high-end shows, Game of Thrones (2011-) has earned a worldwide reputation that includes the fandom of Chinese viewers.

DOI: 10.1002/spe.3464 SPECIAL ISSUE PAPER Demystifying commercial content delivery networks in China Hao Yin1,*,†,BoQiao1,YanLuo2,ChenTian3 and Y. Richard Yang4 1Dept.t of CS, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China 2Dept. of ECE, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA, USA 3Dept. of EIE, Huazhong Univ. of Sci. and Tech., Wuhan, China 4Dept. of CS, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA SUMMARY Over the past decade, content delivery networks (CDNs) have attracted substantial Internet traffic and improved quality of experience for Internet users. However, the evolution of the Internet ecosystem, which is driven by underlying economic incentives and ever emerging technologies, posts great challenges to the existing commercial CDNs (CCDNs). Thoroughly understanding the CDN industry from different aspects including market choice, technology, performance, tendency and infrastructure is indispensable to future Internet. In this paper, we conduct the first comprehensive study of China’s CDNs using continuous, at-scale, content-driven measurements. Based on the massive amount of measurement data with multidimensional properties, we demystify the CCDNs in China and answer two important questions: (1) what is the develop- ment trend of CCDNs in China and (2) what are their unique characteristics. The answers to these questions have significant implications on CDN providers and users. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Received 25 September 2014; Accepted 24 November 2014 KEY WORDS: CDN 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Motivation To bridge the gap between network applications and best effort Internet provider (IP) networks, the technique of content delivery networks (CDNs) has emerged and been developed over the last decade.

    —————————————————— Analysis of ByteDance with a close look on Douyin / TikTok —————————————————— Author: Xiaoye SHI Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Didier SORNETTE A thesis submitted to the Department of Management, Technology and Economics (D-MTEC) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ) in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Management, Technology and Economics June 2019 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. Didier Sornette, who has kindly given me countless guidance and advice throughout the Master thesis. I appreciate the opportunity to work on this interesting topic under the Chair of Entrepreneurial Risks and is deeply grateful for all the help received along the process. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to my parents, who have been supportive and encouraging under all circumstances. Without them, I would not be able to become the person I am today. - 2 - Abstract In 2018, ByteDance, a young Internet company with only 6 years of history, broke out on various news headlines as the highest valued unicorn. With the acquisitions of musical.ly and Flipgram, the company’s flagship product Douyin strikes to develop its global presence under the name TikTok. This thesis analyzed Douyin’s historical growth and revenue model. As a main revenue driver, future user growth is predicted and calibrated by extending the methodology proposed in earlier studies by Cauwels and Sornette. We considered three growth scenarios – base, high and extreme, and estimated Douyin as well as ByteDance’s value based on comparable company analysis. ByteDance’s key performance metrics and multiples were compared with four other firms in the similar industry, Facebook, Weibo, Momo and iQIYI.

  • Sohu Profit Tumbles to $2 Million, Revenue up 10 February 2014
    Sohu profit tumbles to $2 million, revenue up 10 February 2014 Chinese portal Sohu.com Inc. said Monday its © 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. latest quarterly profit tumbled to $2 million due to higher expenses but revenue rose 29 percent, reflecting intense competition in China's Internet industry. Earnings for the three months ended Dec. 31 were down 91 percent from the $23 million reported for the same quarter a year earlier. The Beijing-based company said revenue rose 29 percent to $385 million. The company was squeezed by a 78 percent rise in operating expenses that it said was due mainly to a bigger staff and increased costs for marketing and promotion. Sohu provides entertainment, games and communication services. Its properties include search engine Sogou, games company Changyou and an online video site. Sohu and Tencent Holdings Ltd., an online games and entertainment company, agreed in September to merge their search engines in a deal in which Tencent also would invest $448 million in the new combined operation. "By partnering with Tencent, Sogou has become a stronger contender in China's search market," said chairman Charles Zhang in a statement. "And Changyou delivered solid financial results while investing aggressively in multiple new initiatives for long-term growth." China has the world's biggest population of Internet users, with 618 million people online at the end of 2013, according to an industry group, the China Internet Network Information Center. Internet companies are scrambling to roll out new services as Chinese shift rapidly to surfing the Web from mobile phones and other wireless devices.
