Quincy Smith on the Monetization of Online Video: Multiple Commercials Are Cool and Micropayment Could be Big

Consumers of online video are not adverse to multiple in-stream commercials — and many will embrace a form of micropayments, according to Quincy Smith, former CEO of CBS Interactive who is now a partner with Code Advisors, a new media boutique investment banking firm. . I caught up with Smith today at the paidContent 2010 media summit in Manhattan. This is the first of several interviews done today. Congratulations to Rafat, Staci and the entire paidContent crew for an outstanding event. Much more to come. Andy Plesser, Executive Producer
