Abstract

Pay-per-view service is a television entertainment service wherein consumers can watch a scheduled movie or live event on their home television sets and be charged specifically for the viewing. It is a usage-sensitive pricing system for television entertainment similar to the movie services found in some hotels in which viewers pay only for those programs they watch. The prospect of multimillion-dollar revenues from the sale of first-run movies, live sporting events, and other premium television entertainment on a pay-per-view basis has continued to entice movie studios, event producers, cable and network television operators, and other purveyors of home video entertainment. For pay-per-view to be a viable business, an efficient system for ordering, distributing, and billing of the pay-per-view programs is necessary.
