PANUMAS SANGUANWONGSubscription-based video-on-demand (VOD) is emerging as a premium viewing choice for consumers and challenging cable TV operators. Despite the emergence of VOD, cable TV operators can still survive with unique content such as live sports and news, said some operators. "TrueVisions may lose its customers to AIS Playbox very soon, especially those who are moviegoers," said Mr Mana. Digital TV channels should not be as affected by AIS Playbox because they offer free content, he said. But digital TV operators should develop their content before online TV apps and VOD service have more influence in the media industry, Mr Mana said.
