There's big news in the digital video world today as VeriSign and Adobe Systems announce they will jointly develop new technologies to help media and entertainment companies put content online. Adobe will pair its Flash technologies with VeriSign’s peer-to-peer content distribution platform. Specific product and service announcements will come later in 2007.
VeriSign also announced that it will work with Open Media Network to make videos downloaded from omn.org viewable on consumers' television sets. Users of OMN's public broadcasting library will be among the first able to download high-quality programming from the Internet and watch it on intelligent TVs via set top boxes.
I'll sit down with VeriSign's vice president for broadband services, Todd Johnson, later today to talk about his ambitious plans for the year ahead. He's a Silicon Valley veteran and founder of P2P firm Kontiki, which VeriSign acquired last year.
