The Rise of the Internetwork

Posted by timothy on from the microcasting dept.

Thomas Hawk writes "The Seattle Times is out with an article today profiling Jeremy Allaire, the founder of a new internet television company called Brightcove along with, well, a program on 'hog cooking' to be broadcast on the Barbeque Network by DaveTV. DaveTV and Brightcove, along with companies like Akimbo, Total Vid, Open Media Network and OurMedia are part of a growing new group of companies called internetworks that are seeking to compete with regular network television and offer alternative niche video content. Look for these offerings in your living room through platforms like TiVo and Microsoft's Media Center shortly."

    We already did this with http://www.firstcutlive.tv/liningup/ and found that advertisers are not keen on new advertising models. But viewers are willing to pay for quality content. With so much DV out there, quality is king now.
