I’ll admit, they were pretty sketchy on details. What I was able to get (other than the experience on their homepage, which seems unusually responsive and speaks for itself to a degree) was that they’ve build custom components and are rethinking some assumptions.

Using BGP instead of DNS for regional association is a good example. The keyframe thing is cool too. But what I found most interesting was the founder’s background building denial-of-service mitigation services, because that’s really a problem of how to get out more content than you’re being asked for, no matter how much.

I’ll try to get some more specifics from Perry next time I talk to him. Believe me, it wasn’t for lack of trying!

  • “scales to large numbers”… what is that number and at what bitrate?

  • “designed to carry high-definition” …. classified as what exactly?

  • “Pricing its services around half the cost of comparable offerings”…. what is the cost and who are they comparing it to?

  • “video can rival the cable experience”… in what way? quality? depth of content? interaction?

I'm pretty excited about the new interactive video advances happening in both software and being made by service providers. This Wu seems to be putting together a really well thought out plan. It will open up the true potential of on line entertainment to become more than was even imagined just afew short years ago. Cool.</p> Great article.
