Streaming Media West and Online Video Platform Summit - Special Edition News Round Up

from Larry Kless' blog:

It was a busy news week with major announcements from companies participating in Streaming Media West and the Online Video Platform Summit.

...

Over 30 companies in the online video platform category participated in the show as either speakers, event sponsors or exhibitors, and many others came to see what was going on. The OVP space has evolved over a short time and has moved up the stack as a SaaS (software as a service) offering eclipsing CDNs which just a few months ago saw their own summit at Streaming Media West. Ben Homer, who I was glad to finally to meet at the show, pointed this out in his post, SMW Closing Thoughts | Online Video Watch,
"CDNs were noticeably missing from the event floor. There were a few, Internap was there, but Neither Akamai or Limelight had a booth this year. Several years ago CDNs were everywhere you looked at Streaming Media shows. Now it’s platforms."
