Brightcove 4 Adds Support For The iPhone, Facebook, Live Video, And More	It’s been about a year since Brightcove released the last upgrade to its professional online video platform with Brightcove 3. On Monday, it’s going to release Brightcove 4, and it’s a massive upgrade. Brightcove 4 now supports a native video player on the iPhone, in Facebook, and live video streaming on the Web. It’s got Twitter integration for sharing videos, faster-loading video players, the ability to switch between Flash streaming and HTTP, adaptive streaming ba...	November 15, 2009
Here’s Some PR For You, CDNetworks	If you want to sell something to TechCrunch, or anyone, the best way of going about it isn’t to call people at their home number, accuse them of dishonesty, and then follow up with an email requesting a clearly unethical trading of services. All those things happened to me in the last five minutes. An account executive from CDNetworks called on my home phone to discuss our content delivery needs. I said we were all set. I was asked if I traded content delivery for PR. I said “yes, w...	November 09, 2009
Mobile CDN Offers First Official iPhone Streaming App	This past weekend, Mobile CDN made a fairly significant move in the mobile world when it streamed footage of the NBA All-Star game live over mobile phones. Why? Mobile CDN launched the first live streaming application approved by Apple and that works over any wireless network Edge, 3G and WiFi phones. Until now, Apple hasn’t officially allowed iPhones to access streaming applications. So how did Mobile CDN break down Apple’s barriers? Mobile CDN approached streaming application, Orb, and...

BCE Termination Fee	BCE (BCE) finally reached the drop dead date when the deal was supposed to close but did not. They are now fighting to collect the CDN$1.2 Billion fee from Ontario Teacher, Providence Equity Partners, and Madison Dearborn Equity Partners. The BCE year end is Dec 31 which is just a few weeks away. So the question becomes do they include it as a receivable on the balance sheet as well as record it as extraordinary profit. Will the auditor allow the entry on the year end statements. Will executive...	December 11, 2008
Startups Best Positioned To Weather A Downturn	Now that Congress has failed to bail out Wall Street, the country (and world, to a lesser extent) has begun bracing itself for nuclear winter. The technology sector is no exception, even if the Silicon Valley tends to fancy itself as immune to broader economic turmoil. As Fred Wilson points out, startups fortunate enough to enjoy venture capital will fare the best during these hard times. So we compiled a list of all the technology startups that have raised at least $25 million over the past t...	September 30, 2008
Amazon Gets In On the Content Delivery Business	It was only a matter of time before Amazon would decide to release a Content Delivery Network, and according to the company in an official statement released today, it has done just that. Designed to complement its S3 storage service and EC2 web services, the CDN will be available later this year and will provide users with a high performance method of distributing content to end users. Amazon claims it will have low latency and high data transfer rates when users access the content and it wil...	September 18, 2008

Internap Shrs Swoon (Again) As It Cuts Guidance (Again)	Internap (INAP) shares are getting clobbered in late trading, as the company cut its 2008 guidance for the second quarter in a row. Internap now expects revenue up 9%-13%, with adjusted EBITDA growth of 11%-15%. One quarter ago, the company had projected 13%-18% revenue growth, with 17%-20% EBITDA growth. That forecast itself had been reduced from the company’s original forecast for the year of 25% top-line growth and 20% EBITDA growth. The company blamed the reduced guidance on “sof...

CDNs Prepare to Benefit from Higher Bitrate Content	Of all the calls I do with analysts, money managers and others tracking the content delivery market, rarely do those I speak with ask about video bitrates. For me, the growth of the content delivery market and the very success of the CDNs relies heavily on the trend we see developing for increased bitrates. Most think CDNs can only grow their business by signing new customers or growing their existing customer base. But increased video bitrates has a huge affect on any CDNs bottom line and 2008 ...
