New Australian online VOD service, Beem, has just released a technical beta to a select group of testers. The Beem service is targetted at users who want the convenience of accessing TV show and movie content on any device, at any time, in any place. At this stage, Beem is focussing on delivery to PC / Mac computers, as the majority of online video content consumption occurs on these devices. Beem utilises Juno Interactive's VOD streaming technology. http://beem.com.auRead More »

I was interviewed by Cameron from tvauscast this afternoon. I got a chance to talk about where I think the online video market is headed globally. I always find it hard to not do a brain dump whenever I'm talking about the industry, but think I was fairly restrained this time around, which may indicate a new stage of Zen in my life. Check out the podcast interview here and if you love TV, add tvauscast to your reader.Read More »
