LONDON, April 6, 2010 - NTT Europe, an ICT solutions partner, and Flumotion, a leader

By deploying Flumotion's multi-format streaming technology on

integrated solutions for both live and on-demand video and audio, which
customers will use to implement streaming-based digital business. NTT
Europe's next-generation content-delivery network ensures secure, reliable
and seamless distribution of digital content to end users on a scalable,
highly flexible and 24/7/365 managed platform using parent company NTT

streaming features will include multi-camera players, visual seeking, time
shifting and contextual commenting. Solutions will cover the entire streaming
value chain, including signal acquisition, encoding, multi-format
transcoding, content delivery, Advanced Advertising Module, Media BackOffice
and customised interface design. The state-of-the-art interface design, which
can be customised to the clients' brand, content and target audience, creates
optimised, innovative user experiences to increase both viewership and
advertising revenues. WebTV helps to build loyalty and communities around the
content and brand.
