Korean national broadcaster MBC has teamed up with satellite
broadband enabler PhoenixNet to make Korean cultural content available
to users of the PhoenixNet network infrastructure.
Under the agreement, MBC's Internet multimedia content service
subsidiary iMBC, will distribute all the broadcaster's online content
region-wide.
"This partnership places MBC at the forefront of Internet broadcasting
in Korea and Asia Pacific," said iMBC Ceo Kim Choon Sang.
The tie-up also incorporates PhoenixNet's SpeedCast Multimedia service,
which aims to offer an improved experience for narrowband and broadband
netizens.
According to PhoenixNet COO Dr David Khim, the partnership is set to
provide "a robust, reliable and cost-effective platform to deliver MBC's
content around the globe".
