No matter what comScore Inc says, online televisions still seems appealing. No later than yesterday I went bunkers trying to find the online broadcast of a channel. Youtube seems to remain the leader of online video broadcasting, but its future is rather shaky as people are turning to other sites like Hulu.com backed by News Corp and NBC Universal or Joost, supported by CBS and Viacom. As Christopher M. Cantell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SigEx Telecom (offers free TV and video services, free unlimited global calls and video conferencing through its multi networks) showed interest in Joost, we will also take a look to see what got his attention. Maybe Cantell thinks the peer-to-peer technology used to provide high-quality video might be useful in its own TV broadcast. Both his services and Joost are free to use, but the difference is that the latter one has no Web interface and lays stress on traditional television. On the other hand Chris Cantell might sniff at Joost because on April announced planning to restrain access to US only which was the solely advantage it had against Hulu. Not to mention that it still has no feature allowing users’ generated content. Packed with instant messaging and channel chat, Joost is still in the competition for the leadership of digital television and opposes Cantell’s services, thus getting his attention, especially after the blessed contract it signed with Entertainment Rights who reinforced its availability on the market. The new contract that involves also Youtube gives to the leading digital platform a whole new advantage and a boost too. Is this the reason of interest?
