SkyStream Networks and Microsoft have made plans to collaborate on enabling content-rich Internet services to be broadcast to digital set-top box customers. SkyStream's zBand Internet content
distribution software will be integrated with the Microsoft TV Platform, allowing cost-effective broadcasts of high-quality streaming video and Internet content for television set-top boxes, which can
also be connected to PCs and other Internet-enabled devices.
The integrated product enables service providers to deliver high-performance streaming media and Internet video through fast, broadcast
channels, which is the most efficient way to distribute rich, large-bandwidth content to a large number of viewers that can congest traditional cable modem or Internet access networks.
