Veoh Launches its P2P IPTV Peercasting Network

Veoh Networks, a start-up based in San Diego, announced the public availability and testing of its Veoh 1.0 P2P IPTV Peercasting Network. Veoh 1.0 allows video content producers to publish full-screen video to the network and lets consumers find the video content they are seeking.


Veoh is using its own "VeohNet" protocol as the basis of its video transport system. Veoh software, installed on consumers' PCs or Macs, creates a virtual television network that is able to distribute TV-quality, full-screen broadcast video to hundreds of millions of users with broadband Internet connections.


The company hopes motion picture studios, television networks, organizations and individuals will publish unlimited amounts of broadcast video content to the network, providing consumers with a wide choice in television programming and control over their viewing experience.
