  • Artigo

Those of us have seen this demo'd have universally in my experience been extremely impressed - and in some cases, me included, have said that this is perhaps a turning point in TV over IP. What am I talking about ? Well the NBC Silverlight player for the forthcoming Olympics.  Unfortunately we won't be able to use it to watch the games here in Australia, or in any country other than the US, but you can find out more about it in this new press release:

"REDMOND, Wash. – July 29, 2008 – Earlier this year Microsoft and NBC Universal announced plans to make NBCOlympics.com on MSN the official online home of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The partnership is expected to result in the largest online broadcasting event in history, offering viewers a new level of choice and flexibility in Olympics coverage.

To get the story behind how Microsoft and NBC are working together, what advantages viewers will experience from this partnership, and an innovative new Web application developed for the event based on Microsoft Silverlight 2, PressPass recently spoke with Erik Jorgensen, corporate vice president of MSN, Perkins Miller, senior vice president of digital media for NBC Universal Sports & Olympics, and Scott Guthrie, corporate vice president of the Developer Division at Microsoft.
