Amazon launches another free video streaming service called MiniTV
Amazon has launched MiniTV, a free, ad-supported video streaming service with content geared towards the Indian audience.
Worldwide, Amazon has bet big on its Prime Video streaming service despite competition getting tighter because of the launch of new video streaming services such as Disney+. As we stand right now, though, Amazon still holds a significant amount of users and bets big on exclusive content as well. An Amazon Prime membership gives you access to Amazon Prime Video, while a standalone subscription is also available and costs a little bit less. But not everyone can afford to pay a subscription. In the United States, there's IMDb TV, an ad-supported streaming service for watching movies and series. Now, Amazon is launching yet another one, specifically for India, called MiniTV.
Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition plan offers SD streaming in India for just ₹89 per month
Amazon has partnered with Airtel in India to offer a new Prime Video Mobile Edition SD streaming plan for just ₹89 per month.
The Indian market is a highly competitive space for most international streaming services, thanks to a boatload of domestic alternatives that offer similar products at a mere fraction of the price. To attract more users, services like Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify offer India-specific plans that fall in line with the plans offered by their desi counterparts. Amazon's Prime membership is no different in this regard, as it offers more than one service at a very affordable price. However, it may seem like an unnecessary expenditure for those who don't need Prime benefits for shopping or access to Prime Music. To expand its reach in the country, Amazon has now partnered with Airtel to launch a standalone Amazon Prime Video subscription for mobile users that starts at just ₹89 per month.
