Chinese video portal www.56.com's decision to launch a dedicated pay and watch video website from yesterday has prompted mixed responses from within the industry.
The website yesterday launched its brand-new paid video platform, kankan.56.com, for people to upload and set a price for watching their videos. The website in turn will charge a 10-percent commission from the uploaders and also rank the videos according to the number of views.
"Just like Taobao.com, we will provide a platform for free trade and allow multiple payment options like Internet banking and Alipay," said Wang Jianjun, CEO, 56.com.
