WebcastingTV has established a strategic alliance with Ursus Telecommunications to provide world wide bandwidth through its association with Global Crossing.
Global Crossing has emerged as the world's first independent provider of global long distance telecommunications facilities and services, utilizing a network of undersea digital fiber-optic cable systems and associated terrestrial backhaul capacity. As such, the Company believes it is the first to offer its customers access to multiple destinations worldwide through "one-stop shopping." With the development of its global telecommunications network, Global Crossing has positioned itself at the cutting edge of advanced international undersea fiber-optic telecommunications systems and services.
Global Crossing Network Control
Global Crossing Network Center, in London's Docklands, was previewed for news media on September 16. The entire Global Crossing network can be controlled from this leading-edge facility Ursus has bought large blocks of bandwidth in anticipation of future broadband internet traffic. WebcastingTV will have preferred access to that international bandwidth and can assure it's narrowcast clients that their programming will be available 24/7.
The narrowcasting customers of WebcastingTV can depend on more than enough bandwidth to deliver their programs. In many ways, webcasting is the most effective way to deliver video programs to many regions of the world. Physical delivery of tapes or files can be delayed. Regular programming and live events become nearly impossible. Through narrowcasting over the internet, viewers can see, and respond to, programs that are timely and inexpensive.
