missedbabble; Joost, Omnifone, Veoh, and PermissionTV.
June 18, 2007
Here are a couple of announcements that caught my eye in the week past that we did not feature; Joost, Omnifone, Veoh, and PermissionTV.
Joost is apparantly talking to hardware vendors to embed its Internet TV software into set top boxes. This would move the PC based viewing experience to the TV. This is a key step making Joost available to larger audiences.
UK company Omnifone lauched MusicStation, an all-you-can-eat, full-track mobile music service. Importantly the service has agreements with four major labels; Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, EMI Music and Warner Music International. Scandinavia is the first country to get the service with pricing for unlimited downloads, including data, set at 2.99 Euros per week (US$4).
Internet TV company Veoh, has raised an additional US$26. The company is backed by Time Warner amongst others, and includes user generated, and studio content.
Another Internet TV company, PermissionTV, has raised US$9m. PermissionTV provides a platform to build a web based video channel while incorporating a form of permission based advertising (a short ad with a link to watch the full ad). Corporate customers have been using the platform to embed video content on their existing websites.
