GridNetworks' Vision: Powering Internet Television
Television is changing. The fast-growing popularity of online video and film distribution via the Internet is an important road sign for media companies. There are challenges around technological complexity, as well as the expectation that new technologies will provide new ways to monetize content. At the same time, conventional network and content delivery infrastructures were never designed to deliver television, films, or highly-interactive gaming. They are insufficient to provide optimal, scaled delivery of television or film content. GridNetworks' vision of Internet Television will be one of the only ways, possibly the only way, to meet consumers' demands for individualized program viewing, greater on-demand choices, and entertainment content searching. Network and media companies must get in front of change, or viewers will leave them behind. GridNetworks and its GridCasting service enable them to do that.
GridNetworks' vision is a vision of hybrid technology and managed services that are Powering Internet Television. It is a vision that meets the challenge of these changing times in television and other content markets, and creates new value up and down the distribution value chain: for media and content companies, for network operators and service providers, and for consumers.
Our Vision, Part 1:
Mass-audience consumers in the home are enabled to stream or download television and film programming over their broadband connections. From this they can experience true, HD-quality television on the living room screen, or on the desktop, whenever they wish, and at much less cost than ever before. GridNetworks and GridCasting deliver on this vision – today.
Our Vision, Part 2:
The power of edge-serving technology can be harnessed and controlled in realtime by creating a hybrid, carrier-class architecture that is a managed service which enables better network efficiencies, mass scalability, better content management and security, and predictable and dependable monetization of content. GridNetworks and GridCasting deliver on this vision – today.
Our Vision, Part 3
By combining high-quality GridCasting content distribution service, and extensive bundling and embedding of our GridCast Connector client onto consumer network and edge platforms, GridCasting and GridNetworks become the standard in the industry for best-quality, lowest cost television and film distribution. GridNetworks and GridCasting will deliver on this vision – sooner than many may suspect.
