Mobile connectivity reaching out to the farthest corners of the globe, provides a previously unimaginable potential for building businesses by capitalizing on demand made scalable through global affinities. As a premier destination for premium documentary films, DocuBay addresses precisely such an untapped gap and will soon look at adding further value to its members through producing originals as well.”

    Akul Tripathi (COO, DocuBay) stated: “Documentaries have traditionally been an overlooked genre, though it is a brave one. Created on the back of filmmakers who often risk their lives to shed light on stories that might otherwise never be told. With DocuBay’s launch, there’s finally a home for a new generation of independent voices – a platform built to share, uplift, and inspire without boundaries of language, race, geography, or nationality. DocuBay is a global community, and through these incredible stories, we truly are One Tribe.”

    The report, The State of SVOD, states that 32 per cent of US households were subscribed to premium TV channels in August 2013, compared to 27 per cent that subscribed to SVOD services. Overall, digital video transactions were up three per cent since 2012, reaching 70 per cent of all home video transactions in 2013. SVOD made up 71 per cent of all digital video transactions, and it continued to increase faster than all other digital acquisition types.
