11 People Are Speaking Their Mind

    Don’t you think the real future of such services depends heavily on their ability to bring the content to the real TV, and enable more passive and couch potato experience?

    I see more logic in client PC services and extension to the TV.

    Will be happy to hear your view

    I completely agree — and that is why this is so good.

    It integrates with third party devices so the content could potentially end up on a regular TV set.

    Its all part of the ongoing convergence of the internet and TV. I’ve talked about it a few times - here is one I can think of:

  3. Fate una ricerca web su Mirco Pasqualini. Troverete un bel po’ di cose interessanti sul suo conto. Merita.

  4. […] The beta testing will be launched next month, and that should give us a better idea of whether BBTV is going to be a serious contender to Joost, Mogulus, WiTV and VeohTV or not. […]

  5. Mumble mumble.. If it’s flash based, the publisher will need a very big infrastructure and a very big bandwidth to manage the streams. Especially for the HD streams… The p2p solutions are fantastic for scalability and bandwidth performance… I think it will be another “advanced flash video player”… Cheers

  6. I agree with chicago. p2p is one of the most “smart” stuff of the web! Use it instead of obsolete client/server architectue… IPTV is the future? OK! Let’s use solutions that look forward to the future!

  7. […] 2 Months ago I first heard about WiTV - A new Joost contender that offered a couple of cool features including integration with Apple products and being browser based (no software installation needed). […]

  8. […] Babelgum decided to aim towards a more independent crowd, while Joost aimed straight for the big media companies for content and advertising. Now, according to WebTVWire, "WiTV is planning a head on collision with Joost by competition for the media giants." […]

  9. […] WiTV, questo è il suo nome, è un progetto tutto italiano della CrossCast Systems che sta attirando l’interesse di molti siti specializzati, come WebTvWire. Tutto è ancora in fase di sviluppo, ed al momento non c’è nessuna beta aperta al pubblico, ma qualche importante dettaglio è già stato reso noto. […]

  10. […] Al final del artículo de WebTvWire comentan que al igual que joost,y otros competidores, WiTV tendrá problemas seguramente para conseguir contenidos. De hecho en un anterior artículo, comentaban que en principio WiTv lucharía contra Joost en la carrera por contenidos por parte de los grandes media como FOX o Sony por ejemplo. […]

  11. Does WiTv can scale up to millions users. Without a efficient P2P they will face a real problem ! It is why Joost can become better because with time they will always provide better quality.

    Joost, Babelgum, ViewOn.Tv are peer to peer Tv, it is the only way to provide world Tv service today !
