Mogulus Becomes Livestream

Live Video Streaming Company Relaunches with
New Website, New Name and
New Easy-To-Stream Broadcast Platform

Reports Over 1,000 Live Video Producers Now Paying for Premium-Level Service

NEW YORK (May 19, 2009) — Mogulus today announced it has changed its name to Livestream (www.livestream.com) to more effectively brand and broaden its leadership position in the rapidly growing live video streaming industry.

With Livestream, anybody on the Internet who can connect a video camera to a computer can instantly stream live video worldwide, 24x7, via their own Livestream.com channels or to video players embedded on their own websites or social networks.  To date, more than 300,000 people have registered and launched live video channels using Mogulus/Livestream since its introduction in 2007. 

“Livestream is doing for live video streaming what YouTube did for on-demand video clips,” said Max Haot, Livestream CEO and co-founder. “While we didn’t invent live streaming, we’re removing the barriers – making live video production and streaming easy and affordable for anybody to use and experience.”

Haot maintains that live video is just the next logical step in the evolution of the ‘real-time web.’  “Consider how the demand for connecting communities and information in real time on the Internet has grown through simple services like Twitter… and, that’s just texting!” he said.  “Its easy to see that live video streaming is well positioned to become a key force moving us toward richer, more immersive content experiences and communication.”

Livestream is available to producers and aspiring broadcasters two ways: as a free, advertising-supported service; and Livestream Pro, a premium service that provides producers advanced features with a white-label, graphics-neutral experience. It’s free of advertising employing a pay-for-usage model that starts at $350 per month.

Premium Service Passes 1,000 Paying Customer Mark

In related news, the company announced that more than 1,000 producers and media companies are now using LiveStream Pro since its first introduction just five months ago. Well known Pro users include the World Economic Forum, C-Span, USA Today and “The Dog Whisperer” Cesar Millan.

“Daily signups for both our free and premium services are accelerating at an unprecedented rate,” said Haot.  “Each week, thousands of event organizers, broadcast outlets, newspapers, religious leaders, video producers, high schools and universities are discovering the inherent value that live video broadcasting over the Internet brings to the delivery of their message. It’s extending their reach, in a highly cost-efficient, targeted and professional manner.”

“We’re also finding that Livestream’s interactive features such as chat makes it possible for event producers and media companies to easily interact with their audiences, and often distant constituencies – providing a more interactive experience than is currently offered by traditional broadcasting.“

Livestream Pro provides production and distribution tools previously found typically in television newsrooms and video-production houses. Geared toward the needs of experienced content producers, Livestream Pro includes features and tools such as: multiple screen formats (4:3, 16:9, 2.39:1 and custom), advertising removal and/or control, white labeling, ad-network monetization, analytics, HD streaming, increased storage and professional terms & support.

“We realized early on that live streaming is more than just talking heads and a web cam,” remarked Haot.  “Users are demanding higher production value along with more powerful, yet easy-to-use tools – enabling them to deliver a studio-like experience that offers something more to the viewer than what they can see on broadcast TV. That’s where Livestream is headed.”

About Livestream

Founded in 2007 as Mogulus, Livestream is based in New York and has already received a combined $12.7 million in funding from angel investors and Gannett Co. The company employs 40 and has an additional office in Bangalore, India.

IFBYPHONE INVIGORATES SMALL-TO-MID-SIZE CARRIER MARKET WITH CLOUD TELEPHONY SERVICES

Leveraging SIP Trunking, Ifbyphone Enables Softswitch-Equipped Carriers To Sell Phone Automation Services; Represents New Distribution Channel for Ifbyphone

CHICAGO—April 21, 2009—Ifbyphone today began offering carriers the opportunity to provide advanced, “cloud” telephony applications to their customers at a level of investment that removes previous barriers to entry.  All carriers, CLECs, ILECs, hosted PBX companies, and cable multi-system operators (MSOs) with softswitches in their architecture can now connect to Ifbyphone and expand their service offerings to include features like full-function IVR, Call Queuing, Call Tracking and “Find Me” Call Forwarding, and complete applications such as Voice Broadcasting, Store Locator, and Lead Distributor.

The key to this new sales model is Ifbyphone’s launch of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking, which allows carriers to connect to Ifbyphone and route certain calls to “smart ports” on the Ifbyphone platform, yet retain origination and termination.  While in theory, a carrier could establish a trunk to Ifbyphone via PSTN to get access to Ifbyphone services, the setup and configuration would be prohibitive and costly: SIP helps make the routing logic at the switch (or in this case, softswitch) far simpler.

"Carriers who want to offer advanced services have previously faced a real investment dilemma:  either make a six-figure investment gamble on hardware and software and hope that customers pay for the new features, or don’t, and hope you don’t lose customers to competitors,” said Ifbyphone CEO Irv Shapiro. “Ifbyphone is changing the game. Carriers make a far lower investment commitment, get access to industry-leading features, add capacity with us as they grow, and keep their customers very happy by continuing to serve them directly. For CLECs that want to compete on services and features, this will radically change the competitive dynamics.”

The white label offering enabled through SIP connectivity represents a logical evolution of Ifbyphone’s sales channel strategy.  ”We started by selling direct to SMBs, then broadened our sales model to serve SMBs through an active reseller program,” said Shapiro. “Now, by offering our services on a white-label basis to carriers, we have the ability to offer our easy-to-configure tools to millions of SMB customers through the carriers who service them.”

To illustrate the new model, a small business customer of a CLEC might want an IVR for their business.  They sign up for that service through their CLEC and configure the IVR using Ifbyphone’s white-labeled web-based GUI.  Then an inbound call to that small business will get routed to Ifbyphone for IVR call handling.  In this example, the caller might say “agent” to reach a customer service representative, with Ifbyphone applying routing logic to the call, then passing it back to the carrier for termination.

The benefits to carriers of using Ifbyphone’s white-labeled services include:
-    Dramatically lower up-front investment, in both capital and provisioning effort versus typical offerings from softswitch vendors 
-    Access to complete Ifbyphone applications such as Voice Broadcasting, Store Locator and Lead Distributor
-    Ease-of-configuration for carriers’ end users in building custom solutions
-    Flexible pricing and capacity options for intelligent call-handling from Ifbyphone
-    Access to all Ifbyphone products and applications

In addition, carriers retain the service delivery components that are important to them, including:
-    Origination and termination
-    Customer management and service, with “level two” support available through Ifbyphone for advanced features
-    Full control of marketing and pricing to carrier’s customers

All of Ifbyphone’s industry-leading products and services are available to carriers through SIP trunking, including: Hosted IVR, Voice Broadcasting, Call Tracking, Find Me, Click-to-Call, Google Analytics® Integration, Virtual Call Center and more.  To see the complete array of Ifbyphone’s services, please visit http://www.ifbyphone.com.

ECOMM 2009 SET TO KICK OFF NEXT WEEK IN SAN FRANCISCO

Number of Registered Attendees Already Exceeds Last Year’s Level

SAN FRANCISCO–Feb. 26, 2009—Final preparations for next week’s Emerging Communications Conference (March 3-5 at the San Francisco Airport Marriott Hotel) are wrapping up as organizer and chair Lee S. Dryburgh reports that registered attendees have already surpassed last year’s numbers.

“We’re seeing that more companies are sending the more senior level executive and fewer middle level execs,” said Dryburgh. “That’s consistent with audience composition at other recent industry conferences, as we all weather the economic storm.

“I’m glad that eComm has been able to exceed last year’s revenue and participation levels before the conference’s first day,” continued Dryburgh, “even when we’ve provided discounts only for early-bird sign-ups and to speakers. We made the decision early on to limit the number of complimentary conference passes to ensure that the event’s premium status was maintained.

“This clearly shows that what started largely under the banner of a VoIP revolution more than a decade ago is not dead, and that there is strong community eager to drive the next revolution within the realm of emerging communications.”

Included among the dozen keynote speakers and scores of other presenters over the three days of eComm2009 are:

•    Ge Wang, assistant professor at Stanford University and co-founder, CTO and chief creative officer of Smule.com;
•    Jonathan Christensen, general manager for audio and video at Skype;
•    John Forsyth, vice president of strategy at Symbian;
•    Malcolm Matson, founder of the OPLAN Foundation and entrepreneur;
•    Michael Calabrese, vice president, and Sascha Meinrath, research director, both of the wireless future program at the New America Foundation;
•    Tony Jebara, co-founder and chief scientist at Sense Networks and assistant professor of computer science at Columbia University;
•    Media futurist Gerd Leonhard;
•    Richard Whitt, telecommunications and media counsel for Google in Washington, D.C.;
•    Martin Geddes, head of strategy at BT Design;
•    Benjamin Joffe, founder and CEO of +8*;
•    Mark Rolston, chief creative officer of Frog Design.
