  2. Started Providing Vudu boxes in June 2008 with our $55/mo. 5/1Mbps Premiere DSL • Strengths of Vudu: A grade content, Peer-to-Peer Torrenting Architecture eases backbone congestion. • Weaknesses Vudu: Lack of broad brand awareness, compared to Apple, “Top 100” Titles well covered, but more obscure titles lacking. • Interestingly, only about half of the Premiere users opt to try the Vudu Service • February 2010 Walmart acquires Vudu. • Vudu discontinues the selling of their Set-top boxes, focuses on streaming Apps bundled with TV’s, Bluray Players, and Game Consoles. With our PON deployment, we also now offer Vudu with our $75/mo 10/5Mbps Platinum PON Service. • At this point, we can provide any $150 Bluray Player with Netflix oranother OTTservice, to drive higher tier adoption, to make customers “sticky”. • Directv’sOn-Demand drives Broadband as well. • Still exploring more lucrative OTT opportunities that generate more retail revenue.
