USA Video Interactive Corp. (OTCBB: USVO; TSX: US) AT GILDER/FORBES TELECOSM CONFERENCE
USVO Presents Anti-piracy Technology, Sponsoring Panel - TELECOSM 2008 "The Exaflood: Managing the Coming Digital Deluge"
(Niantic, CT – June 10, 2008) – USA Video Interactive Corp. (OTCBB: USVO; TSX: US; BSE/Frankfurt: USF) co-sponsored the 12th Annual Gilder/Forbes Telecosm Conference, Telecosm 2008: The Exaflood. Event hosts George Gilder, Steve Forbes, and Forbes publisher, Rich Karlgaard, were joined by the world’s leading scientists, engineers, technology executives, entrepreneurs and public policy decision makers to promote investment in innovation.
For three days, Telecosm 2008 hosts, speakers and attendees debated, discussed, decoded and deciphered the digital and communications technologies and policies vital to the build-out of the global Internet infrastructure, the next phase of which is estimated to entail total new investments of some $137 billion worldwide by 2010. The conference was attended by 250-300 senior VP and C-level executives, engineers, strategists, technologists, sales representatives, serial entrepreneurs and government representatives, as well as business leaders from technology and communications companies, institutional investment advisors, and high-net-worth private investors, accompanied by media and trade press and leading public policy officials.
The conference was a great opportunity for USVO to present its anti-piracy technology and business proposition. For USVO’s story to break through, USVO committed to sponsoring the title panel “The Exaflood: Managing the Coming Digital Deluge.” Moderated by Bret Swanson, Policy Fellow at the Progress & Freedom Foundation who has coauthored articles with Gilder on the Exaflood, the panel also featured Bob Metcalf, co-inventor of Ethernet; Joe Weinman, VP of strategy at AT&T; Lane Patterson, CTO of Equinix – the company that supports Hulu, a Fox and NBC joint venture in online content; and Johna Till Johnson, founder of IT analyst firm Nemertes Research. VoIP pioneer, Tom Evslin, was the panel ‘commentator.’
USVO’s story, in contrast to the physical infrastructure that preoccupies most of the discussion of the next phase of Internet expansion, is about technology addressing the fundamental need in business for trust. USVO highlighted the fact that the most visible and profitable content distribution companies in the world are missing out on the benefits of digital technology, and that our SmartMarkTM technology is an enabler that can be a key part in changing this.
The panel discussed the coming Exaflood – a George Gilder coined term that anticipates Internet traffic will multiply fifty times by 2015. The panel was set up by Andrew Odlyzko, Digital Technology Center, University of Minnesota, who presented measurements of current demand that questioned the Exaflood’s premise. This led to a lively discussion that fed well into USVO’s message that the motion picture industry has immediate need for more bandwidth, and a security strategy that will let it turn that bandwidth into high value transactions. The USVO team then had a forty-five minute breakout opportunity to discuss USVO’s value proposition.
The highlights of the overall conference were many, but the level of economic analysis, technical insights, and revelations in a wide variety of technical and investment areas was world class, and it was a major landmark in USVO’s evolution to be marketing at this level.
