Net.com's sponsored pilot, IP Video Content with Defined Quality of Service (QoS), has just reached Level III of the pilot process. Initial collaborators include MeTV, a video content supplier and aggregator; Microsoft, who supply the underlying technology for MeTV and digital rights management; Accenture, offering integration services; and Siemens, who are providing the DSLAM. Net.com provides the service creation platform that enables dynamic bandwidth management, IP QoS, and content delivery guarantees. Service provider BT Wholesale has sanctioned the pilot, and the deployable solution is already being demonstrated in the Microsoft Partner Solutions Center in Redmond, WA.
The "IP Video Content with Defined QoS" pilot initially delivers IP TV, video on demand, and music to business and residential customers. BT believes their diverse customer base will enable them to prove the viability of the concept as they bring specialized programming and content to specific users
The carrier involved in the net.com pilot is British Telecommunications plc (BT) (NYSE: BTY; London: BTA). Other participants include Siemens, Accenture, and Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT). The carrier has net.com's Scream already in its labs in Martlesham, U.K., and has plans to test the video-on-demand service, with content from specialist provider MeTV, in the English coastal town of Brighton
