This created more broadband space on the internet, three
cells called “White Band”. The big business is doaling out a few billion dollars to capture this market like microsoft wants to do, among a lot other communications companys. This will bring Directv to their knees and cable companies too. Of course there is talk that the federal Gov’t will be setting aside one spectrum within a white band for sole use of xxx porn streaming. This will
keep the hand held mobile phone segment clear of foul text
and images. It isn’t censorship, but I would prefer the idea of an automatic filter which the hand held user can elect to disable, therefore saving a lot of broad band space for the ever growing internet use.

I don’t get this either and I’m involved. What was this Darren guy thinking? He seems like a total idiot.

On their earlier talks with NBC, it seems as if they where turned down as a viable option to stream their content, but after 3 years of testing and support from their investors, it looks as if they are ready to go-live.

Be affraid, Be very affraid, these guy’s are the real deal,

This non-exclusive multiyear deal to provide video distribution services to NBC Universal, will show if they really have the minerals or whether this is just a load of cobblers,

I agree with the comments posted here, if Convia have the deal signed, we need more walk and less talk.

Everything’s spin till it’s actually built, but you don’t always want to wait till way after the fact to open your mouth. I don’t think NBC would do this push unless they were actually going to get something out of it. I do agree that Conviva’s website is less than helpful.

What are Conviva doing for NBC??? This seems like a a lot of spin with no substance.

To try to get clarity I went to Conviva’s web site but guess what lots of spin and no substance…

Could you follow up with some facts about what Conviva will be doing with NBC – just getting a press release for some investment or will the actually be delivering video?
