If you're an Indian expat, YuppTV's newly launched 'Mini Theatre' will make you happy

 The movie shall be made available on a pay-per-view basis with a 6-hour viewing window

New Delhi, May 10, 2017: The global OTT leader in the South-Asian content, YuppTV, announced the launch of its new platform, Mini Theatre. YuppTV makes new movies available on the Mini Theatre platform on the first day or the following weekend of theatrical release, even in geographies where the movie is not available outside of India. The movies shall be made available on YuppTV platform only on Samsung, Apple, Roku, LG, Sony TV Devices/interfaces.

Commenting on the latest development, Uday Reddy, Founder and CEO of YuppTV said, “At YuppTV, we have a great opportunity of bringing best quality South-Asian content to our users across the Globe. Launching Mini Theatre is another step in the same direction. The release of various Indian movies is often limited only to very few selected geographies across the world and sometimes limited only to the Indian subcontinent. Hence, users end up missing out on these high-quality and entertaining movies missing a worldwide release. Following the launch of Mini Theatre, our users outside of India will have the opportunity to access new Indian movie releases, just like they used to, back at home in India. Furthermore, filmmakers may now showcase their movies to a global audience, notwithstanding exorbitant investment for an overseas release. Since the launch is slated to benefit every stakeholder in the ecosystem, we look forward to receiving a huge response from both, expat audiences and filmmakers.”

YuppTV is further exercising complete piracy control of the movies showcased in the Mini Theatre. Users need to accept the piracy agreement conditions before they start watching the movie. The movie shall be made available on a pay-per-view basis with a 6-hour viewing window. Furthermore, the movies are secured with DRM, Invisible user based/Forensic watermarking and encryption and users are authenticated by mobile and location verification. Under the Invisible or Forensic Watermarking, each user who will get the stream to watch the movie will have unique identification in the invisible mode. It is an imperceptible & non-removable unique identifier that is embedded in the video, enabling YuppTV to trace any content breach. The pirate, if in case found guilty of breaching the privacy guidelines, will be charged with a heavy penalty.

PM Modi to Kashmiri People: Choose Tourism or Terrorism

Addressing a rally in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the youth of Kashmir to choose tourism, not terrorism, to help the state scale new heights of progress.  
PM Modi asserted that "40 years of bloodshed" had not benefitted anyone, sending out a message to the misguided youth of Kashmir in the wake of the growing unrest in the Valley and spurt in clashes between civilians and the security forces.

He again invoked former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's slogan of Kashmiriyat, Jamhooriyat, Insaniyat (Kashmirism, democracy and humanity) and said it will be the "prime motto" in moving ahead "with harmony, with brotherhood, with strong will and determination for the brighter future of the youth" and "no obstacle can stop us". Modi, who was on a brief visit to Udhampur to inaugurate the country's longest road tunnel between Kashmir and Jammu, used the occasion to tell the stone-pelters of the valley that stones could be used for better purposes -- building infrastructure.
After inaugurating the 9-km-long Chenani-Nashri tunnel, Modi asked the Kashmiri youth that if they ignored the "invaluable tradition of Sufi culture", they would "lose the present and plunge your future into darkness".

MODI ATTACKS PAKISTAN IN UDHAMPUR SPEECH

Modi also launched a veiled attack at the rulers of Pakistan who are eyeing Kashmir, saying "they can't even take care of themselves". He said his government was committed to ensuring fast-paced development of Jammu and Kashmir, which would also tell the people living under "occupation" in the other parts of the state (PoK) how they were being destroyed. At the event attended by Governor N N Vohra, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and some union and state ministers, Modi promised to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in the development of Jammu and Kashmir and sought the cooperation of the people in this regard. "I want to tell the misguided youth of the Kashmir valley to realise the power of a stone. On the one hand, there are some misguided youth who pelt stones, while on the other, there are youth from the same Kashmir who carve stones to build infrastructure," he said.
The message was clearly for the youth who indulged in stone-pelting in the Kashmir valley, a trend that is growing.

"I want to tell the Kashmiri youth that there are two paths in front of you which can determine your future -- one is tourism, the other is terrorism," he said.

"Over the last 40 years, there has been a lot of bloodshed. My own Valley has been blood-soaked, my Kashmir's beloved youth, my Hindustan's beloved youth. Nobody has benefited from this bloodshed," the Prime Minister emphasized.

He said if the people of Kashmir had devoted the same 40 years to the development of tourism here, the valley would have been blessed with world-class tourism.

Idea and Vodafone Merger: Big in the Telco Industry

The inevitable is happening. Even as Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd readies to launch its mobile services on a commercial basis from April 1, the second and the third largest operators – Vodafone India and Idea Cellular – have finally come together to occupy the number one slot in the world’s second largest telecom market by number of subscribers. The combined entity will be India’s largest in terms of revenues, absolute profits, subscriber base and several other parameters.

The combined entity will have an annual turnover of Rs 81,400 crores and around 400 million subscribers. It will have 35 percent customer market share and 41 percent revenue market share. As against this, Bharti has annual mobile revenues of around Rs 56,000 crores and 270 million mobile subscribers and. All this gives Bharti a customer market share of 24 percent and a revenue market share of 28 percent.

When it comes to the all-important spectrum holding, based on weighted average of a circle’s total revenues and levelling paired and unpaired spectrum, Vodafone-Idea will have 43 Mhz of spectrum followed by Bharti’s 34 Mhz.

But the real fight is not really between the combined entity and the numero uno so far -- Bharti – that they will displace. It is between the rest and the challenger that is Reliance Jio. The merger is a natural outcome of the market forces that the Reliance Industries subsidiary has unleashed – one that has brought data tariffs to one-fourth of their levels only six months ago and has made voice services almost free.

The anxiety of the incumbents was understandable. After all, if the fears needed any corroboration, Reliance Jio acquired 100 mln users in 170 days – a world record in its own right. Bharti too is in the process of acquiring the Indian unit of Norway’s Telenor.

No wonder Thomas Mathew, Director General of the industry lobby Cellular Operators Association of India, feels the tariff war in data services is far from over.

“Tariff wars in voice are over. That will happen around data. Pressure on data will continue,” he told Moneycontrol.

According to research firm IDC, the total mobile services market revenue in India is expected to touch USD 37 billion in 2017.

It’s rare to see an operator – in this case one that is yet to launch its services commercially as written earlier --  shaking up the market in a manner like this. But it has happened. The challenger is setting the terms in the market.
