Key to overall video license utilization lies in a cooperative sharing of
licenses between the different branch operators of the licenses before
the expiry of the licenses. A branch operator has a region of operation
and stimulating the demand for licenses that are about to expire across
multiple regions increases the overall license utilization. Billboard
service provides subscribers with information and facility to preview and
select movies for viewing online and it provides an opportunity for
branch operators and central operator to maximize the utilization of
available licenses. Central billboard provides a platform for branch
operators to submit and trade their surplus licenses while a local
billboard that is part of a branch operator infrastructure helps create
demand for such surplus licenses. Central billboard supports both
regulated and unregulated pricing and trading thereby enhancing the
chances of trading of licenses that are about to expire.
