Posted on: Monday, 17 March 2008, 18:00 CDT

PeerApp Ltd., the leading provider of Intelligent Media Caching and Delivery solutions to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) worldwide, and MediaMerx, the leader in delivering premium syndicated digital video to global markets, today announced a partnership to accelerate the distribution of aggregated digital content to ISPs in global markets.

By integrating their technologies, PeerApp and MediaMerx will enable ISPs to obtain the types of content their subscribers want, deliver it to them at wire speeds, and generate revenue by creating new, differentiated services. Latin American, Eastern European, Asian and African service providers have more than 100 million broadband users with their traffic growing more than 100%/year.

The partnership integrates PeerApp's Intelligent Media Caching and Delivery Infrastructure for accelerating multimedia content over broadband with the MediaMerx Marketplace, web video tools and multi-channel player. Using the integrated solutions, ISPs will be able to develop and deliver compelling content services that scale with subscriber demand and business growth.

The combined technologies will also let media companies efficiently and economically distribute their content to multiple network operators. Moreover, global service providers can aggregate content efficiently from content sources, overcoming licensing and transaction challenges. Through these distribution arrangements, content owners and network operators in global markets can generate new revenue from monetizing content.
