The MOD Retail Digital Content Distribution System helps retailers bring an expansive library of digital content into their stores and sell it in convenient concierge and self-serve models. When retailers add digital delivery kiosks to their brick and mortar locations and other high traffic areas, such as malls, convenience stores and airports, they expand a content owner's distribution opportunities and related revenue. With digital delivery, retailers fill customer needs quickly and easily without requiring the stocking of pre-packaged inventory like CDs and DVDs.
