Pioneering Video Distribution Company "ThePlatform" Nails PBS and Continues to Grow

ThePlatform, the Seattle-based video distribution platform for large online video publishers, has been at it for eight years, long before most of us were talking about this business.

Just last month the company announced an agreement with PBS and its member stations to power online video distribution.

The company was acquired by Comcast two years ago, but operates independently we are told.

In Los Angeles last week, I caught up with Ian Blaine, CEO and Founder where he was at the AlwaysOn OnHollywood conference. He shares an overview with Beet.TV here.

daspark — Sat, 03 May 2008 23:36:17 GMT

Fifteen years ago Tim Berners-Lee convinced his bosses at CERN to make his design of the Web open and free to everyone. It was a critical decision as we all realize now. Billions upon billions have been made as a result of that decision. San Francisco and Silicon Valley are the hubs of innovation in the Web. What can we expect in the next 15 years? Plan on the development of the semantic Web (Web 3.0), wireless ubiquity, and mobile content following us wherever we go.
