What is The Venice Project™?
The Venice Project™ is a new venture that combines the best elements of the TV experience with the most powerful internet technologies, in a way that will redefine the way people think about television. It is not a file-sharing application or a video download service.
Techcrunch’s Michael Arrington writes:
Most of the hype around it stems from the fact that the company was started by Kazaa and Skype founders Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis. Otherwise, this would likely have been lost in a sea of new IPTV startups we’re seeing almost daily. But the fact that the founders are so high profile gives The Venice Project an edge besides press hype: it may also give them the status they need to land crucial content deals with the TV networks.
CenterNetworks blog has a very nice beta tester review of The Venice Project with screenshots for all of you who love the “show-me-a-proof” concept (well, my concept of course!)
I’ll be posting update if I get approved by them!
