For more than 11 years, IPVM's subscription pricing has remained the same at $199 per person per year (see the archive.org for then IP Video Market Info's sales page in 2010). We are trying to figure out what to do going forward and wanted to lay out some of our thinking and encourage you to discuss and debate this with us here.
We do not have any predetermined plan here so we are genuinely curious for ideas and feedback. Moreover, subscribers continue to grow, course registrations continue to grow and our new annual conference all help grow revenue so we do not have any existential risks.
Change: 11 years is a long time. Back then, it was just 3 of us, now it is nearly 30 team members at IPVM. We have grown from doing short commentary to in-depth investigations, statistics, shows, testing, financial analysis, etc. People around the world use IPVM information and tools to help make important business decisions.
Same: We are still independent, and still have no outside investors.
