On one level, World Multicast,
Inc. (WMI's) competition comes from those companies engaged in traditional
broadcasting and cable systems. Out of economic necessity, these
companies must program for mass appeal. On another level, WMI's
competition comes from Internet webcasters. The latter are capable
of concentrating on smaller, niche audiences, but most lack the
technology to provide "Streaming Video" that approaches the quality
of television. The "Video on Demand" format is effective but limited,
owing to the large amount of bandwidth required.
WMI's competitive edge
and value lies in its ability to offer Multicast video at 30 frames
per second to virtually any Internet-access computer anywhere
in the world. This edge is owing to WMI's patented SMART Secure Reliable IP Multicast software.
When compared to Unicasting technologies like "YOU TUBE," WMI's multicasting protocols
provide programming to the end-user with an unparalleled ability
to scale.
WMI can air popular sports and mass media using the Multicast
enabled Internet. The competition will be excited to hear of WMI's
accomplishments as they truly need to solve scaling problems. In short, our streaming media competitors
need WMI's technology to accomplish their goals of scalability and reliability.
