Thats mega news and could have wide reaching consequences as it suddenly makes the internet somewhat more appealing to advertisers who might sponsor webcasts.
A resource like The Railway Channel available to the general public free of charge courtesy of YouTube will absolutely fuel interest in model railways. What chance Hornby, Bachmann and others now taking a serious interest in web sponsorship and actually advertising with webcasts on third party websites?
They produce a promotional webcasts and the site advertising the video earns a fee per view. Would you view promotional webcast advertising?
When you think that Hornby and Bachmann probably spend £1000 on a full page colur add in a magazine think what they could do with that £1000 if they made a webcast video advert!
And what impact might this have on website content?
Advertisers clearly would choose where to place adverts.
As an example would you be more inclined to buy DCC products if you watched a 10 minute promotional webcast of the product in action?
Happy modelling
