P2P Live Streaming Company RawFlow To Demo New Self-Broadcasting Tool At IPTV World Forum 07

London (December 21, 2006) - RawFlow, a leading provider of live peer-to-peer streaming technology for internet broadcasts today announced that it will exhibit and sponsor the IPTV World Forum in London in March 2007. The company will also demo its revolutionary to-be-launched live publishing tool for User Generated Broadcasting - SelfCast at booth 70.

The internet is rapidly becoming a significant delivery platform for content, and with year 2006 going down as the year of online video, RawFlow is interested whether 2007 will be the year of live internet TV. RawFlow’s Chief Executive Officer and founder, Mikkel Dissing, commented: “It is about time that people open their eyes to what web 2.0 really will mean for content owners and ISPs. When TV streaming becomes as popular as standard TV, the entire internet might be threatened. The only way to handle this new rich media demand is via a distributed approach such as peer-to-peer (P2P). We’d like to be part of the IPTV World Forum in order to demonstrate how P2P can help solve some of the distribution challenges of internetTV – but also; to introduce new P2P streaming based opportunities – such as our new User Generated Broadcast tool - SelfCast”.

SelfCast is to be launched next year and can be built into any existing social community site. It will allow for live broadcasting of video and audio. “There’s more to internet broadcasting than pod-casts and short clips on YouTube. We want people to be able to interact live, and because SelfCast is p2p based, the bandwidth costs are minimal”, Mikkel Dissing commented.

RawFlow’s CEO Mikkel Dissing will be speaking on a panel session at TvOverNet called “TVoverNet: Threat or opportunity?”. Along with Mikkel Dissing debates Vincent Dureau (Head of TV Technology, Google Inc), Griff Parry (Director of Broadband and Mobile, Sky), Andrew Wilding (European MD, Vividas), and Ian Walker (Director of New Business Development for IPTV, Advanced Digital Broadcast). The panel session is chaired by Philip Buxton (Editor, Revolution).

Next year’s IPTV World Forum, taking place in Kensington Olympia, London 5-7 March 2007, will also run in parallel with The Connected Home (www.the-connected-home.co.uk) and The TV over Net conference (www.tvover-net.com). A three day joint exhibition for all three conferences will be free to attend.
