The DSC is a new media term which encompasses the process of delivering digital media, be it books, music or video, by electronic means, from the point of origin (content provider) to destination (consumer). The role for publishers and wholesalers still exists, but it has to be redefined.
The DSC opens the door to new business models. The significance for Publishers is the ability to release one chapter or many chapters or illustrations from a book independently as viable products. Publishers can combine segments from different books or journals to create targeted commercial offerings and provide accessibility to backlist and out of print titles in the absence of tradition print, inventory and distribution costs.
