JOOST hasn’t even been commercially launched yet, but the new Internet TV service from the makers of Skype has beefed up content by signing up more partners.
Here’s an excerpt from the Forbes.com story:
Joost, the Internet TV platform being developed by the influential creators of Skype and Kazaa, said Tuesday it had signed several new content distribution agreements, including one to show CNN programs.
The company also planned to expand availability by the end of the month, letting “beta” testers invite anyone else to download the software from its Web site and view programs on Joost as well.
“This is the way you normally ramp up peer-to-peer software … and it’s a way to give our (beta tester) friends a little bit of a scoop,” said Yvette Alberdingk Thijm, the company’s top executive for content acquisition.
