Joost and JumpTV hook up?

Written by James Delahunty @ 01 Mar 2007 7:02

It has been a good start for Joost, an Internet TV service created by the original founders of Kazaa and Skype. After striking a deal with Viacom to provide content from its networks, after Viacom abandoned YouTube in a failed agreement, Joost is now reportedly hooking up with JumpTV, which owns the rights to 270 TV stations in 70 countries.

Time magazine reported that both will soon announce their deal. Joost is now battling for the interest of the average Internet user to steal thunder from giants like YouTube and MySpace. While both have achieved incredible popularity, Joost will use its features, including robust protection of content, to win the hearts of content providers allowing it to offer premium video.

YouTube has got its own deals however, including one with NBC and is currently reportedly talking with other content providers, including the BBC. YouTube also moved further into the political arena with You Choose '08, a YouTube service that allows U.S. Presidential hopefuls to post videos and interact with members of the YouTube community.

	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
