[...] Joost will have to playy catch up in China, as the Chinese are the world leaders in P2P TV and P2P streaming media. Well established Chinese firms like PPLive and PPStream pre-date Joost by nearly two years (see my earlier comments).

Although Joost has stronger financial strength in the global video market, Babelgum and Vakaka have their own advantages in their own home markets and they still try to defeat Joost at some point. The more competitions exist, the more internet TV viewers and the more profits the practitioners can make. The business opportunities belong to every one, including carrier, the content provide and the TV add-on service provider.

So what will happen in the future? Maybe Joost succeeds in the U.S.A., Babelgum works successfully in the EU, and Vakaka grows fast in China.

Quote :
“3,000 hours of video programs are available including “the latest films and the hottest soap dramas in China,” with many under 500 kbps to accomodate lower bandwidth users.”

Hmm, under 500 kbps for video you do not have enough quality to really enjoy the content, for instance by viewing it on your large flat TV. You just have “improved Youtube-like quality” to be displayed in a little window of your PC screen.

Under 500 kbps, you can not really benefit of valuable and premium content (movies, TV series, TV shows, live music & concerts…) you just have a downgraded preview of those content.
