Prime Video increases the number of ads while streaming: Know how it will affect users
Are you experiencing more ads lately while streaming content on Amazon Prime Video? Well, you're not the only one. Amazon has quietly increased ads while streaming content on Prime Video. The ads have reportedly increased from 2 to 3.5 minutes to 4 to 6.5 minutes of ads on an hourly basis. While this may hamper users' viewing experience, it will attract more advertisers to the platform, generating higher revenue. Therefore, the number of ads is expected to gradually increase. However, Prime Video subscribers can always pay additional money to avoid ads entirely. Know what the Amazon representative said about the matter and what it means for the company. In a recent Adweek report, Amazon has reportedly increased the number of ads on its online streaming platform Prime Video. An Amazon representative said, 'Prime Video ad load has gradually increased to four to six minutes per hour.'With a greater number of ads, Amazon is expected to reduce the Cost Per Mille (CPM) for ads, which will likely make advertising cheaper on the platform. The trend of ad inclusion on online streaming platforms has scrapped the vision of an ad-free experience as viewers are already paying a huge sum. However, now OTT viewers will have to pay extra for an ad-free experience. Now, the real question is, will the OTT viewers start accepting ads on the platform, or will it drive the viewers away? Earlier, OTT platforms like Netflix cracked down on account sharing and restricted users outside of the house from using the same account. On the other hand, HBO Max also restricts password sharing. Now, the OTT platforms are opting for ad revenue, hampering user experience. Mobile Finder: iPhone 17 LATEST specs, features, and price Just a few days earlier, Amazon announced an add-on plan for subscription users to enjoy ad-free viewing. With this add-on plan, users will have to pay Rs.129 extra on a monthly basis or Rs.699 extra yearly. These prices will be applied over the Amazon Prime annual membership, which is priced at Rs.1499. This new plan is reported to start from June 17.

IndiGo share price today: InterGlobe Aviation stock tanks 6%; reports suggest promoter planning $1 billion stake sale
Earlier this week, IndiGo's shares reached a 52-week peak of Rs 5,474, bolstered by robust Q4 performance. IndiGo share price today: InterGlobe Aviation's stock, the parent company of IndiGo , fell by approximately 6% to Rs 5,175 on Friday following reports indicating InterGlobe Enterprises' potential sale of roughly 4% ownership through block transactions. According to a CNBC-TV18 report, the promoter group aims to generate approximately $1 billion from this stake sale. At present, InterGlobe Enterprises maintains a 35.70% ownership stake in the organisation. This development follows co-promoter Rakesh Gangwal's continuous reduction in shareholding, having disposed of shares valued at Rs 40,000 crore since 2022. Gangwal presently retains a 7.8% stake in the airline, an ET report said. Earlier this week, IndiGo's shares reached a 52-week peak of Rs 5,474, bolstered by robust Q4 performance and positive outlook regarding international capacity growth. However, Friday's decline indicates investor wariness regarding substantial promoter share sales. Investor sentiment also deteriorated following a tragic Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner accident near Ahmedabad during its London-bound flight, resulting in several fatalities. The ET report said that the situation worsened due to heightened international conflicts. Israeli forces conducted operations against Iran's nuclear and missile installations, describing it as a "preemptive strike." The strike caused Brent crude prices to surge by approximately 10%, reaching $78.50 per barrel, marking its peak since January and recording a 12% weekly increase. Similarly, WTI experienced a rise exceeding 9%, reaching $74.47. Dr. V K Vijayakumar of Geojit Financial Services said: "This could have deep economic consequences if tensions escalate further. A retaliatory move like blocking the Strait of Hormuz could squeeze global supply and lift oil prices even higher." The substantial increase in crude prices particularly affected the aviation sector, as fuel expenses constitute a major operational cost, leading to increased pressure on airline stocks.

15 months on, Indian army still awaits delivery of Apache Helicopters from the US, signed Rs 50100000000 agreement to buy...., delay reported due to... More than a year after the Indian Army created its first Apache attack helicopter squadron, the actual helicopters are still nowhere in sight. The squadron was set up in March 2024 at Nagtalao in Jodhpur, but it hasn't become operational yet, simply because the Apache AH-64E helicopters promised by the United States have not arrived. India had signed a USD 600 million agreement (current rate: 50,100,000,000 INR)with the US in 2020 to buy six Apache helicopters for the Army. As per the original plan, the first three were supposed to be delivered by May or June 2024. That deadline came and went. The delivery was then postponed to December 2024, reportedly due to global supply chain problems. But now even that date has passed, and there's still no word on when the helicopters will finally land in India. According to officials from the Defence Ministry, the delay is due to technical problems on the US side. Meanwhile, Indian Army pilots and support teams who were trained and ready months ago are stuck waiting, with nothing to fly. This is in contrast to the Indian Air Force, which had received 22 Apache helicopters earlier under a separate deal made in 2015. The delay for the Army has therefore become even more frustrating, as the squadron remains incomplete and idle despite all preparations.
