I have been advocating cooperation between CDNs, telcos and content owners for many years.
CDN interoperability pilot

London, October 16 2009 - One new CDN per month
Telcos and hosting providers move into the CDN market, powered by Dutch CDN technology
Jet Stream BV, CDN technologies market leader, announced on the Streaming Media Europe show in London that it has licensed and deployed eight CDNs since the latest release of their VideoExchange CDN software suite was launched in March 2009. This announcement was made exactly a year after the software was previewed on the very same show in 2008. Read more
I want to thank the people behind the CDN Strategies Summit and Streaming Media Europe for both London shows last week. It is good to see that business is growing and that the industry is professionalizing and that everyone is focussing on their own core. It is also very good to hear that the telco industry agrees on the views that I have been advocating in the past years, from both a strategic and technical point of view. We had a great (but extremely busy) week with many new opportunities and many new potential partnerships for CDN deployments and streaming services.
Thanks to you all for the great time too: it was good to catch up with everyone and the atmosphere was great: we had a lot of fun, besides the business, which is important as well. I also want to thank everyone for the compliments on this blog!
We need time in the next weeks to work on the current CDN projects and we have to setup many meetings to discuss he new opportunities and partnerships. We’re also growing fast, so we need some time to get our new staff members up and running. I will try to write some articles about the two most important issues that were discussed on CDN Strategies Summit (CDN standardization) and SME (cooperation in the EU market). I have published some articles on this blog that more or less cover these topics, so check the older articles.
Oh and: congratulations to the Readers’ Choice winners of 2009: we won last year and it is a great boost. Speak to you soon.
About twelve years ago – by lack of available CDNs and CDN technology – we had to develop our own basic CDN technologies, to be able to produce our large-scale webcasts for pop festivals, events, enterprises and governments.
Our requirements back then (1996/1997) were quite simple: Read more
This is your chance to meet the Jet Stream team that implemented six seven eight(!) CDNs in the past twelve months for various customers.
We will be present at the CDN Strategies Summit (October 13,14) and Streaming Media Europe (October 14,15,16).
