The market for the online distribution of content on fixed, mobile or internet
networks is growing very strongly. And the group is playing a major role in this
thanks to its “
Content Everywhere” strategy (your favourite content where, when and how you want).
To support this strategy, Orange is setting up and developing partnerships with
a wide range of national and international right holders. Thanks to its all-access
approach, Orange is able to offer its partners numerous distribution possibilities
both in terms of access (mobile, television, internet) and means of distribution
(on demand, streaming, subscription-based). The development of themed subscription
packages (young people, music), alongside pay-as-you-go services, is fuelling
demand for content on demand. The group is also present on the secure content
distribution sector through its subsidiary
Viaccess.
In 2007, the group supported cinematographic creation through a dedicated investment
subsidiary. This subsidiary, Studio 37, is involved in both film co production
and buying catalogues of rights.
The group is the wordwide leader for ADSL TV, with more than 1.7 million customers
at the end of Septembre 2008. It has launched its high definition television services
to mark major events such as the French Tennis Open and the Rugby World Cup. High
definition broadcasting is also available with mobile or video on demand services.
In addition, with
goa.com, the group is able to offer
an online gaming or downloads portal, which is developing
very strongly.
This world of services, information and entertainment is being developed wherever
the group is present. It is more and more often systematically connected with
the group's
sponsorship strategy.
