With soccer fans eager to catch their favorite World Cup matches at home, the country's leading internet companies are preparing to use the global sporting extravaganza at a battlefield to integrate their different lines of business to win customers.
This year, Chinese audiences will not only be immersed in livestreaming and on-demand video of the matches and related programs from digital channels, but also enjoy a wide range of services linked to the game, such as ordering easy-to-eat food online.
Leading online video service Youku is looking to deliver a viewing experience that is about more than just sitting and watching a match, Yang Weidong, president of Youku, said at a Sunday news conference in Beijing.
