AOL used to distribute most of its TV content through its Hi-Q platform, which like the iPlayer is powered by VeriSign’s (VRSN) Kontiki P2P technology. Don’t expect Kontiki to carry the new CBS shows that will come to AOL.com later this month, though.
But on Monday Verisign announced a deal with Adobe who’ll distribute their P2P infrastructure along with the next version of the Flash player. That’ll get it into tons of homes nearly overnight.
