Videostreamingdienst Molotov open voor Franse gebruikers
De Franse videostreamingdienst Molotov is per 11 juli beschikbaar voor gebruikers in Frankrijk nadat de dienst eerder al had aangegeven nog dit jaar live te gaan. Molotov maakt het mogelijk om videocontent te streamen over meerdere schermen. 

De dienst komt als gratis versie verkrijgbaar met 35 kanalen en 10 uur aan bookmarks. Zo goed als alle Franse kanalen maken onderdeel uit van het gratis aanbod. Voor 9,99 euro per maand krijgen klanten er 37 kanalen en 100 uur bookmarks bij alsmede de mogelijkheid om simultaan op vier schermen te streamen. 

Klanten die geen behoeft hebben aan extra kanalen, maar wel aan extra opslagcapaciteit en de mogelijkheid om gelijktijdig op vier schermen te kijken, betalen 3,99 euro per maand. Molotov is beschikbaar voor smartphones, tablets, Apple TV en connected tv's van Samsung en LG. 

Uit onderzoek blijkt dat 12 procent van de Fransen een abonnement heeft op een sVoD-dienst en 65 procent is bekend met het bestaan hiervan. Het zijn met name jongeren die van zulke diensten gebruik maken. Marktleider in Frankrijk is Netflix, met een aandeel van 62 procent, gevolgd door Canalplay.
