The Information & Communications Technology Group at Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce its Exclusive 2006 Quarterly Webinar on Tuesday, December 5, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. CST / 11:00 a.m. EST.


The accelerated rate of broadband penetration has resulted in an increasing consumption of on-line rich media content including video, audio and gaming. With this advantage, the Internet has evolved as an even more attractive avenue for all market segments. Besides enterprise, content providers and service operators expect to increasingly deploy dynamic content online to reach their mass audiences.


This demand has stimulated and escalated growth in the content delivery networks (CDN) market, though not without its share of challenges. Increasing demand for rich media leads to need for more customized solutions and CDN vendors attempt to strike a fine balance between technical issues and seamless delivery.


The briefing will discuss the drivers and challenges faced by CDNs focused on distributing rich media such as video and audio. The briefing will also look at various technology and market trends that will affect this market.


"The content delivery networks market has regained strongly from a slump that seems well buried," observes Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Vidya S. Nath. "There is increasing focus on rich content delivery as the initial surge in consumer response to video and audio on the Internet indicates exponential growth for the market."


Those interested in participating in the interactive webinar should send an e-mail to Mireya Castilla -- Corporate Communications at mireya.castilla@frost.com with the following information: your full name, company name, title, telephone number, e-mail address, city, state and country. She will send the registration details via e-mail upon receipt of the above information.
