Marc Ludwig at the DIPTV Awards Ceremony in Berlin
FotoTV, the InternetTV for photography has won the third German IPTV Award in the category of 'Best Business model'. The Founder and CEO of FotoTV Marc Ludwig, received the Award in person yesterday, at the Awards Ceremony in Berlin.
The German IPTV Awards started three years ago, honors innovative and successful businesses in the IPTV segment. FotoTV being one of the winners of this year disproves the popular belief that paid content in the Internet does not work.
‘We are pleased to receive this Award’, says Marc Ludwig at the Awards Ceremony. This further confirms that FotoTV is a pioneer in paid content on the Internet. It has for several years used a business model that other Internet based content providers are only now discovering as a sustainable model.
Adds Mr. Ludwig, 'three years ago when we decided to charge our users for the content we were considered to be exotic, today we are the vanguards of a business model that many hope to achieve!”
“Over the last few months we were often told that our decision to charge users for content will not succeed in the Internet" explains Marc Ludwig, “now even publishing houses and other Internet based businesses are beginning to realize that free content on the Internet does not bring revenues at the end of the day and so needs to be combined with paid content!”
FotoTV has become an exemplification of successful paid business models on the Internet!
The team at FotoTV under the leadership of Marc Ludwig has produced an unsurpassed collection of videos on photography in less than three years! FotoTV (together the German version at www.FotoTV.de and the English version at www.FotoTV.com)
