WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 2000--
Global Crossing Conferencing Integrates INTERVU?s Internet
Conferencing Services into Traditional Teleconference Offerings
At the TeleCon East 2000 Conference, Global Crossing
Conferencing, a subsidiary of Global Crossing, Ltd. (Nasdaq: GBLX) and
leading provider of audio, video and data conferencing services, and
INTERVU Inc. (Nasdaq: ITVU), the leading service provider for
streaming media solutions, today announced a strategic relationship to
deliver audio and video streaming services to Global Crossing
Conferencing?s customers.
The alliance combines Global Crossing?s industry-leading
experience as a full-service conferencing service provider with
INTERVU?s conference casting technologies and services that
incorporate live and on-demand audio and video streaming and
interactive conference tools into traditional conferencing solutions.
According to Don Poulter, President of Global Crossing
Conferencing, "Our goal is to provide customers with seamless,
powerful communication tools. Building our Webcast services on
INTERVU?s high performance network will allow us to provide reliable,
high quality solutions to our customers. Streaming is an exciting
medium, but providing a Webcast service that is easy to use, reliable
and has top-notch customer support is challenging. Combining our
expertise as a leading conferencing provider with INTERVU?s automated
solution and dynamic network will allow us to deliver a high quality
product to our customers, and will significantly enhance the way that
businesses communicate."
"We are pleased to have been selected as Global Crossing?s
streaming media provider for its new Webcast service offerings," said
Harry Gruber, chairman and CEO of INTERVU. "We believe that conference
casting, or moving conference calls online, is likely to see wider
adoption by companies as they look to reduce travel and lodging costs,
increase their communications reach and effectiveness, and take
advantage of the Internet?s interactive and archiving capabilities."
The first product that will result from the new relationship will
appear in the form of Global Crossing Conferencing?s Webcast service.
The service will combine INTERVU?s patented, proprietary streaming
network with Global Crossing Conferencing?s unmatched service delivery
from reservations through billing. This will allow conferencing users
to increase the reach of their meetings through live and on-demand
streaming of audio and video conferences. The service will be
available to Global Crossing Conferencing?s users in the second
quarter of 2000.
