Pricing is really good. Hope this kind of pricing reduces the amount of piracy.
200 is too high, who will afford such pricey mobile data. Epic Fail!
200 per month is too high? How much do you pay for Dish TV service Cable TV Operators?
200 not for movies only and who will pay for data charges? This kind of services were previously launched in india, and they failed.
Streaming movie in a mobile data pack is never a cheaper option even in many developed countries, you can always use broadband in home. Hooq doesn’t have any control over the data pack charges. I believe Hooq allows to download and view it offline. So download when you are connected to WiFi and view it when you are in mobile conenction.
