Hi Stefan,
We have started a WEB TV called “SlashMotion”. Right now we are using progressive download for delivering flv. We are thinking of going for streaming using Wowza media server. We would love to have a flash consultant on our board while we expand our portfolio. Please let us know your thoughts.
