"In the market of distribution of TV channels there are already largest players whereas purchase of the rights to broadcast of movies is not in great demand among cable operators, ― the Chief Editor of the Kabelshchik magazine Yana Belskaya speaks. ― It is done only by those who make own TV channels or who has an opportunity to provide services like "video on - to a request", but only operators of IP television, as a rule, are able to afford it".
