2014 OTT TV's Capital Aspect Licensing

In 2014, for OTT TV practitioners, half of the seawater and half of the flames were both passionate and cold. However, from the high expectations placed on the cultural industry and the strong performance of the cultural industry itself, the broad prospects of the OTT TV itself are unstoppable. The flow of capital is always one of the important indicators of industrial vitality. Today, capital has started. For OTT TV, this is the worst era and the best era.

In terms of large cultural industries, data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that in 2013, the added value of China’s cultural industry was 2135.1 billion yuan, exceeding RMB 2 trillion for the first time, and the ratio to GDP was 3.63%. It took eight years for the first trillion-dollar step of the cultural industry's value-added station to stand, and it took only three years to stand on the second trillion-dollar step. While the growth rate in many industries has been slowing down, the growth rate of the cultural industry has been able to reach a double-digit growth rate, higher than the growth rate of GDP, and "outperformed" other industries.

As far as the TV + Internet direction pointed by OTT TV is concerned, the TV screen is the last virgin land under the tide of the Internet, and it is also a media that directly rejects the general public at the national level. Therefore, the Internet has always been there and the supervision of the Directorate of Administration has always been there.

Regaining the status of the licensee's struggle

The reorganization in 2014 was a matter of a few hikes for licensees. However, before becoming a pure endorsement, the General Administration of China has finally revived the status of licensees and it is always a good thing. And, in 2014, it was also the year when those licensees who did not make too much effort concentrated their efforts.
