The channel will be available to all users in India and will be IP blocked for users in other countries. Intel will be the exclusive presenting sponsor for the channel in India.

Sandeep Aurora, Director-Marketing, Intel South Asia said, "The YouTube Box Office channel provides the consumers an opportunity to view premium, high quality movies on their PCs.

30 usd, that is a lot of money considering it is just internet fee.

Yes, 30 USD is way too much. I also pay 30 USD for a 1 mbps speed. Net is good, but overly costly.

The network infrastructure in India is pathetic. I guess, I and many like me are lucky to live in cities. Remote places in North East either do not have internet or the speed is 14 kbps. And by remote I mean, say 12 hrs from Guwahati - the gateway of NE India.

I know its top of the world in korea and japan, so may not be that bad in china as well.

I am in a hotel in Taiwan using the wi fi provided by the hotel. Don't know how many more guests are there using the net, but I am getting awesome speed. Movie streaming without repeated buffering. Internet seems to be cheap here. Even mobile data plans on 3G are dirt cheap though call rates are very high.
