How does per-channel pricing work?
Royalty fees are calculated on the basis of channel (also called port) volume. An annual royalty cap applies (see next question). The cumulative number of physical channels or real-time channels is counted over time, and pricing is applied according to the channel volume reached (please see the Licensing Terms for prices). When a channel volume threshold is reached, a new price level, based on volume, is applied. The count is cumulative from year to year.
