They are targeting vertical ethnic audiences away from their home country. They are bypassing the regular delivery food-chain for TV - e.g. the TV stations, cable operators and satellite operators.

Currently there isn't any social network, chat, and discussion forum. Will those be added? There's also no mobile device delivery - e.g. Ipod or smartphones. Is this a subscription biz model, because currently there is no advertising on the site?
