Looks like major new product for WAVO. Also a brief reference to this in new WAVO annual report:

ZDnet is reporting that Wavephore WAVO is readying a new service to be called Jamcast that will
allow the broadcast of multimedia and software including MP3 music files and video content- without
having to make an internet connection by using the television virtual blanking interface.

"The service, called JamCast, is expected to let anyone with a PCTV card receive TV programming,
movies, music and software without the need for an
Internet connection. WavePhore also is designing an upgraded JamCast service for broadband
customers using Internet Protocol (IP) multicasting, officials said.
"Instead of having to go online to receive video and games, you'll turn on your PC and have it waiting
for you," a company spokeswoman said.

WavePhore plans to create an entertainment portal providing movie, music and television reviews and
instant access to all the files broadcast to users. The
portal also is expected to list a daily schedule of the service's downloads, so users can plan to watch
programming as it's streaming down. It is anticipated that the free JamCast service will concentrate on
video content, games and MP3 music files and will be supported by advertising and e-commerce.
Much of what is broadcast is expected to be made available for later purchase, according to Patrick
Ford, WavePhore's senior vice president of marketing and product development." The service/site is
expected in July according to the report.
