Verizon’s Upcoming Video Service Has A Truly Terrible Name

Roshan Dwivedi Published on : 27 July 2015
Verizon Go90

 

Verizon seems to be nearing the launch of its long-in-the-works internet video on demand streaming service, and now Variety has given us the name: it’ll be called Go90. That’s some absolutely horrid, nonsensical branding, but the actual product doesn’t sound nearly so bad — and apparently it’ll be completely free (at least to start). Over the last several months, Verizon has quietly rounded up some important partners like Viacom, ESPN, CBS Sports, the NFL, and DreamWorks.

The foundation of Go90 came from Intel’s failed internet TV platform, OnCue, which was purchased by Verizon for $200 million and repurposed into the upcoming service. Unlike Sling TV and PlayStation Vue, Verizon isn’t trying to replicate the TV experience, instead focusing on a blend of live and on-demand programming. On the Go90 website (now hidden), Verizon wrote, “We wanted to create a mobile-first, video-based app that can keep up with you and your on-the-go social life, One that features completely immersive live and on-demand content, no matter where you are or where you’re going. No cord required.”

Keep it Secure, Keep it Safe: Tips and Techniques to Protect Your Video Content

Streaming content security has quickly elevated to the number one priority across the industry. That’s because billions are being lost in live event revenue, such as sporting events, to pirates each year. But securing streaming content from theft isn’t an easy task. There are hundreds of possible vectors, everything from network intrusion to player/app doppelgangers to CDN leeching, through which pirates can obtain and redistribute content. In this webinar, SVTA CEO Jason Thibeault will take a look at some of the more prominent vectors, techniques and tips to mitigate potential problems, and discuss the recent SVTA Security Working Group publication, “OTT Streaming Security Checklist.”
