In my previous post Rundown of the past week, i disagreed with what Ji Qi said there were no opportunities in the Internet sector. Here is the evidence again.
Danwei has compiled a good list of Chinese Video Sharing websites. 20-odd companies, such as Tudou and Rox, are in the list and most of them are for entertainment.
The Internet research firm, iResearch, posted a report on Corporate TV Station instead, complimenting it is a fairy tale for companies to build up their own "TV stations" at a price as little as RMB860. The Corporate TV station started less than month ago (probably on 31st Oct), run by a Shenzhen-based company named Asian Commercial Harbour by Fu Dekun who is an experienced channel distribution expert and is known as a "marketing shark".
There are four corporate-level stations, namely Corporate, Channel, Marketing and Partnership. Only few days ago, I just couldn't understand can't tolerate the site's slow loading speed but now the cheap price has attracted many corporate clients and a number of agencies in partnership from, e.g., Shanxi and Chongqing.
I think it is a good signal for Chinese Internet companies to evolve. You conceive it of a new B2B business model, taking the "traditional" web2.0 video sharing concepts into account. It's a simple move towards a blue ocean (I really don't want to use it when everyone else does) market with tremendous size.
The sector is to be further developed as there are not many websites running similar business. Oyoo is another one serving small shopping stores and restaurants.
