Broadcasting & Cable
Magazine's 'Digital Television Pioneer Award' at NAB 2000 Conference
Rob Glaser, founder and CEO of RealNetworks(R), Inc. (Nasdaq: RNWK), the
recognized leader in media delivery on the Internet, was presented with
Broadcasting & Cable Magazine's Third Annual "Digital Television Pioneer
Award" in Las Vegas on Monday, April 10, on the occasion of the National
Association of Broadcasters Conference.
The award, which was created in 1998 by Don West, Publisher of
Broadcasting and Cable Magazine, is presented annually to one or more
persons who have played a key role in advancing digital television. Rob
Glaser was presented the award for his 'pioneering work on audio and video
streaming over the Internet through the development of RealAudio(R),
RealVideo(R) and other technologies'. This is the first time someone
representing Internet media has received the honor.
Glaser, who founded in RealNetworks in 1995, has long been intrigued with
the nexus of media, computing, and communication. He is a recognized
leader in this growing industry, as television and radio transition from
broadcast and cable to an online medium. He serves on several non-profit
boards and committees, including his appointment by President Clinton to
the Advisory Committee on Public Interest Obligations of Digital
Television Broadcasters
In addition to receiving the award on Monday, Glaser also celebrated a
significant milestone in RealNetworks' history, with the company logging
115 million unique registered users of its RealPlayer in April, just five
years after the company was founded in 1995.
