Social N wants to become the first streaming local nationwide online video network in history. Recent developments prove this business model is both unique, and so far, no other brand has undertaken this goal. HBO recently announced it will stream it's movies, but won't provide "local" content. DirectTV's Sunday Ticket is now offered online, but again, this is seasonal sports content, not local content. YouTube doesn't even stream live, nor is it positioned as a local content delivery system in major U.S. Markets.
Motley Fool says "....there is more upside potential in TV 2.0 and the Unplugged Generation than any investment we've seen in 20 years...bigger than the Internet Itself, it's a $2.2 Trillion dollar emerging phenomena..." http://www.fool.com/video-alert/stock-advisor/sa-cabletv-ext/
Social N has built a large audience by proving it can achieve critical mass in each market, and it is now poised to capitalize upon it's growth, and success.
Business Insider says "Mobile Video Ad Spend will be bigger than Desktop..." http://tinyurl.com/ljdlaag
Social N TV after building a vast network of sites, is positioned to be the Leader in Live Streaming Content, and provide a unique social media driven TV 2.0 Network. It is truly the first targeted online Local and National Video network that doesn't rely on old fashioned "impressions" business model, but instead from millions of already existing connections. The Local TV Networks DON'T have a nationwide content delivery system and there is no clear winner b/c New Content doesn't fit nicely into past marketing/revenue models.
A shrewd VC can help SocialNTV beat Apple. ReCode says Apple is having a hard time w what area of TV2.0? Local and Sports - http://recode.net/2015/05/04/the-last-piece-of-apples-tv-puzzle-local-and-sports/ Social N positioned as it is as a Local Network can carve out a wide swath of territory with unique micro local "new media" broadcasts and digital formats, and take advantage of iPhones, Androids and GoPro Citizen Journalists and Online Producers and YouTubers.
A savvy venture capitalist can read the tea leaves: Online Streaming Content is not just a trend, it's here to stay. There really is not Unplugged Generation. We are all part of the Unplugged sociocultural shift to mobile content, and mobile video content. And providing a unique end user experience to end users, while delivering precision targeted marketing to Advertisers is a win win for the consumer as well as businesses seeking to advertise.
