www.gridnetworks.com Television. It’s the best way to reach a huge audience with high-value video content. But TV isn’t perfect: it’s live, so it’s hard to catch viewers at the right time, and it’s difficult to personalize because it’s broadcast. Also, TV is expensive and inflexible because it’s controlled by the networks and gated by affiliates and distribution partners, such as MSO, satellite, and telco companies. What if you could offer your video content, on-demand, to a third of a billion potential viewers—on TVs and PCs—while controlling your content and your revenue model? GridNetworks has the technology to do this today.
