Deg - Thanks for sharing your experience! It is interesting that the AULC pilot resulted in the demise of the only PDA model for streaming video. Are you able to or interested in sharing why, especially since it sounds like ASP is doing the same?
I know that some of the PDA models require an upfront price before the PDA begins. 1) Do you, or anyone else on the list, know if upfront costs are common with PDA models? 2) And does Hoopla have a flat price to start the service first, before the pay-per-view begins? Thanks so much for everyone's sharing information on these business models.

FMG's Films on Demand piloted a PDA model with the Arizona University Libraries Consortium (AULC) in 2008. At the time there were no subscription models for streaming video, only the "shopping cart" approach of individual title selection and purchase. The FMG/AULC pilot resulted in the development of Films on Demand, and the demise (to the best of my knowledge) of the only PDA model for streaming video. Now two other companies are beginning to provide PDA models for streaming video. Alexander Street Press is rolling out a model. Currently running in Scotland as an "evidence based acquisition" model. And Kanopy, an Australian company, where PDA has been a very successful model, has entered the US market. They will be one of the exhibitors at the National Media Market in November (see links in my signature) deg farrelly, Media Librarian Arizona State University Libraries Hayden Library C1H1 P.O.
