Case in point is Comcast Cable’s VOD service, which has grown from about 1,400 titles in late 2003 to more than 3,400 today, with total views rising from 21.2 million to 106.9 million during that same period. The recently announced deals with Starz On Demand will add more than 1,500 films per year to that count.  ¶  But VOD is no longer just about movies. Cable operators are increasingly looking beyond film content to other genres, including music, games and interactive offerings. ...¶... The swelling content library also ups the ante for better navigation tools, and there is a major trend afoot to move beyond simple keyword indexes. ..."  Link:  CED.  Very good overview of VOD.  Thanks to Gens Johnson for the tip.  --Dennis
