Internet Pay-per-view (IPPV) World Leader 7.5 Billion Users
Description
Internet Pay-per-view (IPPV) is a type of pay television service by which a subscriber of a television service provider can purchase events to view via private telecast. The broadcaster shows the event at the same time to everyone ordering it (as opposed to video-on-demand systems, which allow viewers to see recorded broadcasts at any time). Events can be purchased using an on-screen guide, an automated telephone system, or through a live customer service representative. Events often include feature films, sporting events, and other entertainment programs. With the rise of the Internet, the term Internet pay-per-view (iPPV) has been used to describe pay-per-view services accessed online. IPPV is most commonly used to distribute combat sports events, such as boxing, mixed martial arts, and professional wrestling.
