Those pictures were taken by me in the basement of the Westin building about a block away from the building where the ReelTime offices were. The Westin building is one of only a handful of places in Seattle you can get directly onto the fiber backbone of the internet without having to pay to run fiber out to you, which would be prohibitively expensive. The proximity of the offices across the street combined with the 30% discounted price and the turn-key RLTR/ICTN colocation made it the ideal location.

This is where the content distribution system resided. The offices you saw was where the development occurred, and the business ran. But across the street is where the content streamed out of.

If you click on the Tenant List, you can see who else is housing their servers there.. These are the little "superfluous" things that non-techies don't understand...

For five years we had a website that could steam movies in such a way that dropped jaws and allowed us major contracts for content. Then for the last two years we have not even had a website that could strram basic you tube videos. There in lies the difference between a tech company run by a technical innovator and one run by someone who thougjt it was not hard and had no comprehension of technology. Pretty plain and simple. Guess we did not need a first class facility. Much better to have one that never worked at all.
