The Monetization Mandate: Move Networks Executives To Speak on Importance of "Quality" in Driving Profitable Streaming Video for Major Media Companies
Executives to discuss importance of streaming quality and how it impacts consumers, broadcasters and advertisers.
American Fork, UT — November 5, 2007
Move Networks, a provider of a video publishing and delivery platform for continuous long form and live video via the Internet, will participate in a number of leading broadcasting and Internet industry events in November. Move Networks supplies the publishing platform for customers such as ABC.com, The CW, Discovery Communications, ESPN360.com and Fox Interactive Media.
Move's growing visibility within the industry comes at a time that the discussion from advertisers, major broadcast networks and cable companies intensifies about how streaming video can provide profitable revenues.
As Yankee Group stated in it's October 29 report entitled "Now Premiering: The 2007/2008 Online Television Season": "Instead of partnering with one or two CDNs, broadcast and cable networks should partner with vendors such as Move Networks. Move has distribution agreements with numerous CDNs and uses an algorithm to determine the lowest cost and highest quality source for delivering a video stream to an individual user."
In the upcoming industry discussions, executives from Move Networks will discuss the importance of streaming quality and how quality impacts consumers, broadcasters and advertisers.
