A Publisher’s DilemmaPublishers of all kinds (web, TV, ,newspapers) have traditionally distributed content in bundles (from content to ads) as part of mass marketing strategies.
Clients however, have a real-demand of less time and want unbundled choices. RSS starts to unbundle media programming.
Audio Eye is a technology solution that assists in re-bundling according to company or market preferences. (client preferences to come shortly).
Through private label of the Audio Eye player and the creation of new publisher bundles, or user preference bundles.
