Executive Summary

The content business model has arrived. Fueled by broadband, the number of consumers paying for online content increased 38% in 2005, and average individual spending for online content increased to $88 per year, a 14% gain over 2004. However, online advertising still dominates the business model, with spending on search engine marketing and display advertising increasing to over $13 billion in 2005. Media companies must assess audience demands, content sources, and the necessary technology to ascertain the best method for making money from online content.
