ZIMTV provides a complete internet TV broadcasting platform enabling content owners to distribute their content to millions of potential online viewers worldwide.
Features of the new product are to include free channels containing sports, movies, television, news, animation and educational video content, plans for pay per view channels for premium content and English language content, and plans to include international language content in the future.
Sponsored by a consortium of companies including Google, Nokia and Microsoft, ZIMTV.mobi will enable content to be distributed to mobile phones and PDAs worldwide, further expanding ZIMTV.
We are excited at the opportunity to provide broadcasters worldwide with a platform to distribute their video content on the internet and on mobile phones, said Dr Michael Cowpland, president and CEO of ZIM. ZIMTV offers content providers an attractive opportunity to create new revenues and new customers.
ZIMTV focuses on streaming videos rather than downloading through the P2P infrastructure. It will also offer unlimited bandwidth for a flat rate.
