It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • 2020 Annual Report
    ACHILLES INTERNATIONAL 2020 ANNUAL REPORT I LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Achilles family, Thank you. As we embrace this new year, we do so with the acknowledgement that although 2020 took a toll on all of us, our community came together to embrace chal- lenges; to encourage resilience and strength; and above all, to support one another. We could not have done it without you and I am incredibly grateful for every individual that makes up the Achilles community. As we were ramping up our plans for 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic quickly pushed us to reinvent our approach to programming and connecting with each other. In true Achil- les fashion, our community of athletes, volunteers, staff, supporters and friends rose to the occasion and embraced opportunities to connect, consider and appreciate our shared experiences in new and creative ways. From late night (or early morning) Chap- ter Zoom calls and virtual dance parties to digitally delivered workouts and team-based challenges, we have found meaningful ways to stay active, engaged and connected, even as we remain apart. We did not let the absence of a shared starting line prevent us from supporting athletes in their training and nurturing our community’s determination to achieve big goals. In this report you’ll read about several highlights of the year including our Virtual Hope & Possibility race and the Achilles Cup. In addition to these successful virtual events that brought together thousands of athletes across the globe, Achilles was well represented in several marquee events that moved from the road to the web including the virtual marathons in Boston, New York City and Chicago, among others.

  • Verizon Dips Another Toe Into Online-Video Programming 6 April 2016, by Ryan Nakashima
    Verizon dips another toe into online-video programming 6 April 2016, by Ryan Nakashima In some ways, these arrangements are modern—albeit much smaller—versions of classic media deals struck by companies anxious to draw bigger audiences. Think Twitter buying the rights to Thursday Night Football, Time Warner Cable doing likewise with Los Angeles Dodgers baseball, or cable company Comcast buying NBC Universal. The investment gives Verizon a 24.5 percent stake in AwesomenessTV and more original video for its Go90 streaming service, which launched in September. It will also help it make use of its $4.4 billion purchase of AOL last year, which gave Verizon a new capability to deliver ads on top of video. This photo provided by AwesomenessTV, Hunter March hosts "Top Five Live," AwesomenessTV's daily live "Verizon has concluded that trying to extract more entertainment show on go90. Verizon is spending more and more money out of data usage charges is a than $100 million for a minority stake in online-video dead-end street," said analyst Craig Moffett of production outfit AwesomenessTV, Wednesday, April 6, research firm MoffettNathanson. Instead, it's been 2016, making it the latest major company to invest in focused on selling ads targeted to where its users non-traditional video programming for younger happen to be, which is "why they bought AOL and audiences on smartphones. (Verizon via AP) why they launched Go90," he said. Now the company is focused on building up its library of stuff to watch—and, of course, to sell ads against. Could the next "House of Cards" be coming to your phone?
