ATVOD £2,900 Fee for VOD Services.
I think it's shocking, ATVOD require VOD services to pay a yearly fee of £2,900. I know it might not be as hard hitting for large VOD Service Providers, but what about the small VOD Service Providers (i.e. startups), a fee of that amount could hit a startup hard, the government claim to want more small businesses to setup, but a fee of £2,900 being slapped on a VOD Service Provider startup is shocking in my honest opinion.
I wonder, if a startup launches a VOD service without telling ATVOD, will ATVOD take that startup to court.

Actually that seems fairly reasonable to me.

If you were going to start a VOD business, surly you would have some funding in place to cover this yearly fee? You could try Dragons Den lol

Re: ATVOD £2,900 Fee for VOD Services.
Given the cost of the servers and other infrastructure that would be required to support a VOD service that could handle lots of simultaneous streams I'd think £3k is just pocket change.

Looking at a different point of view, fair enough, thank you  .
