Paradoxically, one thing Zennström and Friis don’t particularly want is user-generated content. That’s partly tactical, a way to differentiate their new baby from YouTube. But they’ve also learned—the hard way—about the risks of letting the aud

Yesterday, we were The Venice Project™. Today, we're Joost™. Tomorrow, we're yours! Imagine having infinite choice, and TV that is truly interactive. TV anywhere, anytime...

BT's most basic broadband package BT Total Broadband Package 1, for example, has a 2GB monthly 'usage guideline'. This would be reached after 20 hours of viewing. The software is also likely to transfer data even when not being used. The Venice system is

Full-screen video of any kind inevitably use a lot of bandwidth, and The Venice Project™ is no exception to this. The software downloads about 320MB per hour (as a maximum) and uploads up to 105 MB per hour. The more popular the content is on our platfo

The Venice Project can use high amounts of bandwidth (both upstream and downstream) per hour which could really annoy your broadband service provider and be a problem if you have a bandwidth limited plan or share your internet connection with others.

Do people care how the data is getting from the host to them? No. That's exactly why peer to peer will definitely win over a centralized, YouTube approach. By cutting down on bandwidth costs (they're mostly from the users), the Venice Project can have muc

The installation consumes about 250 MB per hour, the company says, which makes it one of the true broadband applications. I wonder what the incumbent service providers will have to say about this! But that’s a topic of discussion for another day. Once y

But if I’m searching for quality programming in an easy to find format then I’m heading straight to the Venice application that sits in the tray on my windows taskbar. YouTube still wins on user generated content, but that is not what TVP is all abo

The first published screenshots show that it aims to provide a full-screen televisual experience. The peer-to-peer video project threatens to disrupt television distribution in the same way that free calls over the internet are disrupting the telephone i

Significantly, The Venice Project will be a secure, rights-protected service that intends to work with content producers such as film studios and sit-com creators, not against them. This is Zennstrom learning from past mistakes.

We are in the process of launching a secure P2P streaming technology that allows content owners to bring TV-quality video and ease of use to a TV-sized audience mixed with all the wonders of the Internet. All content on The Venice platform is provided by

These would-be video moguls also face fierce competition from deeper-pocketed tech rivals, including Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN ) and Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL ) Consolidation is inevitable.

What are we trying to do with Venice? It’s simple, really — we are trying to bring together the best of TV with the best of the Internet.

The Venice Project soll eine P2P Video-Stream-Anwendung werden, die es erlaubt werbefinanzierte TV-Inhalte auf dem Computer zu sehen. Start im November, die Anwendung ist in der Betaphase und man wird mit den Rechteinhabern kooperieren.
