IPTV NEWS: Akimbo delivers video-on-demand over the Internet

2006-02-18T22:25:00.007-05:00

By Daily Telecom News, Power by Cogni360

IPTV Industry News & Updates.- Watch anything from A&E to the Billiard Club Network, Akimbo Systems delivers huge libraries of entertainment on demand over an Internet connection to your television. With 70 channels and 50 categories of programming, San Mateo-based Akimbo prides itself in satisfying the most catholic of tastes as well as the narrowest markets.

Chief Executive Officer Josh Goldman talks about the ocean surfers who like to watch videos of surfing over Akimbo.

"There are billiard clubs who want to watch billiard tournaments. There's a cricket channel. There are all these niche markets that are not big enough for TV networks but plenty of people want them," he said. "We are enabling massive libraries of video content to be available to consumers cheap and easy.

"It's not live TV. It's not TiVo. It's Indian movies and English soccer matches," he said. But our goal is to deliver any kind the content in the future...

"We were the first service blessed to be delivering cable network programming over the Internet," said Goldman, noting that many cable channels are available through Akimbo such as A&E, National Geographic and Turner Classic Movies.

Akimbo's strength is its wide library of programming. It will not deliver live broadcast TV. And, unlike Sling Media and Orb Networks, it will not allow you to move media as you travel.

Akimbo is charging only $69.99 for a set-top box that sits on top of your TV and a $9.99 monthly subscription fee. It sells the box and the service at www.akimbo.co.nr

Akimbo's aim is to integrate its service with telecommunications, satellite and cable carriers, but it won't retire the box completely. Goldman is not ready to discuss progress of its negotiations with carriers.

In the fourth quarter, Akimbo's technology will be integrated with Windows XP Media Center, Microsoft's computer that delivers access to home photography, music and other media, according to its chief. Goldman says Akimbo bears a resemblance to public access video in that people can broadcast their own work.

"Filmmakers call us and say they have an independent film and can they show it on Akimbo. We just showed our first video blog," he said.

Akimbo raised $4.25 million in its first round of funding and $12 million in its second. Their technology has the atention of many new investors like Cogni360, that know that IPTV will be the revolution of Television.

Although the company was open three years ago, but the product and service were launched last October.

Goldman spends a lot of his time negotiating for the rights to programming.

"We do a lot of rights checking and a lot of deals with networks. We strike deals with networks like BBC. We got the first two seasons of the A&E program 'Growing up Gotti' on broadcast TV. Now the fan boards are talking about it," he said. "So it went from broadcast to on-demand. This change is a very powerful feature." For more information go to: Daily IPTV and VOD Updates.

VOIP NEWS: Intelefone Becomes One Of The Top World VoIP Providers

2006-02-01T10:43:00.000-05:00

By Daily Telecom News

VoIP Industry News & Updates.-Intelefone have over 200,000 of our phones in place and working worldwide. That makes us one of the top VoIP providers in the world. They are a proven technology! Most VoIP companies are just rolling out and have no proprietary platform.

Since all of our technology is proprietary, there is no Need to put together a system piece-meal like the majority of VOIP companies out there. Without a proprietary system, there are a lot of technology breakdowns and poor sound quality.

Our system was seamlessly designed and integrated so all the components work perfectly together - all the hardware, software and phones were designed SOLELY for our system.

And the Designer of our technology was one of the founders of China UniCom and they have over 59 MILLION subscribers! That is a HUGE enterprise ! Imagine the wealth created from that network alone.

That Designer was the first IN THE WORLD to design a Broadband VOIP phone, a year before anyone else and the first and still the only person IN THE WORLD to design a USB VOIP that works on dial up (and Broadband) without any loss of quality in the sound!

He has approximately ONE HUNDRED engineers on staff working on NEW services and technology that are even more exciting, and we will have access to marketing them as they roll out, as well.

There are many new features coming very soon to the InteleFone that will keep making it BETTER and BETTER! And finally, the majority of VoIP companies use software for voice compression. Intelefone use hardware, and they give it to you for FREE. That makes for a MUCH higher sound quality phone call.

And that is a BIG factor for people using and referring their product. In many countries, the sound quality is BETTER than anything they can get in their standard phone or cell phone service. Plus, it’s a HECK of a lot cheaper.

Intelefone OFFER Free UNLIMITED, InteleFone to InteleFone calls ANYWHERE in the world for just $14.95 a month. In addition, our Free Unlimited calling plan for just $24.95 a month allows InteleFone subscribers to call REGULAR phones in the United States and Canada, and from ANYWHERE in the World from a InteleFone to United States and Canada.

Plus, they provide VERY low international rates for InteleFone users to regular phones outside the United States.

All the other companies are looking very close at Intelefone because of the advantages over their old VoIP services... Get more information at: www.Intelefone.co.nr
