LONDON and NEW YORK and MADRID, Spain, June 20
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Narrowstep(TM) Inc. (OTC:NRWS) (BULLETIN
BOARD: NRWS) , the TV on the Internet company, has collaborated
with Spanish based VivoCom to deliver a host of new IP delivered TV
channels to the Spanish market. To date, they have launched
thirteen original channels using Narrowstep's proprietary IPTV
technology platform telvOS(TM). This collaboration is part of
Narrowstep's overall strategy to extend its presence globally
through a network of international resellers. These resellers allow
video content owners, brands, institutions and many other companies
and organizations to utilize Narrowstep's video delivery platform
to provide viewers with unique video content in TV-like quality
over the Internet. "The combination of Narrowstep's telvOS and
VivoCom's expertise in creating new media productions has yielded
incredible results, making Spain our top international market, and
a worldwide point of reference for TV on the Internet," said Todd
Narwid, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Narrowstep.
Among the new channels VivoCom has introduced over the past few
months are iPSOE TV (Spain's ruling political party channel) and
the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja Espanola). They also provide
channels for the internationally known city of Seville and the
Cordoba province, as well as a multi-channel solution for BBVA (one
of the largest retail banks in Europe with more than 100,000
employees). They also provide a multilingual channel for ICEX, the
Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade. ICEX is the agency serving
Spanish companies to promote their exports and facilitate their
international expansion. Narrowstep and VivoCom even share a
channel (Negopolis), which is designed to showcase innovative
business concepts for an investor market. "Consumers are
increasingly demanding choice, flexibility and interactivity from
their media. At the same time, companies are looking for the best
way to differentiate themselves and deliver their message to their
target audience. Fortunately, IPTV combines the richness of the
mass media with the interactivity of the Internet. What else could
you ask for?" said Raul de la Cruz, Chief Executive Officer and
Founder of VivoCom. "Partnering with Narrowstep has allowed us to
focus on delivering quality content and services with the assurance
that our customers are provided with superior quality." VivoCom has
also collaborated with the Spanish Media Publishers Association to
