从 Netflix 和 Hulu 到 iPlayer 和爱奇艺，全球互联网分布式电视服务的快速增长为媒体行业学者带来了机遇和挑战。哪些商业模式在不同国家取得了成功，为什么？在如此多样化的工业实践中，什么框架可以帮助我们解释和谈论电视？本文对新兴研究领域进行了批判性概述，并提出了未来的研究方向。我们针对互联网分布式电视研究中的具体问题提出了七点挑衅——理论、比较、市场定义、史学、监管、用户体验和行业转型。
From Netflix and Hulu to iPlayer and iQiyi, the rapid growth of internet-distributed television services worldwide presents both opportunities and challenges for media industry scholars. Which business models are succeeding in different countries, and why? What frameworks help us explain and talk about television amid such a variety of industrial practices? This article provides a critical overview of the emerging research landscape and suggests future lines of inquiry. We offer seven provocations regarding specific issues in internet-distributed television research-theory, comparison, market definition, historiography, regulation, user experience, and industry transformation.
