Level 3 Streams and Other News from SMW

Level 3 (LVLT) will announce at the Streaming Media West conference in San Jose, Calif., today that it’s adding streaming, including live and high-definition streaming, to its content delivery network services. The company’s pricing will match its disruptive CDN discounts, though it will charge a premium for Flash.

Another premium service Level 3 will be offering is Move Networks‘ online video distribution platform. Move continues to offer the highest-quality online video viewing experience we’ve seen, as demonstrated on ABC.com. Level 3 will be integrating Move’s technology and reselling it.

We’ve also got the director of media strategy and content at the Interpublic Emerging Media Lab, which is working closely with Joost.
