In response to Laura's questionŠ Until very recently there have not been PDA models for streaming video in the US. 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.

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
