Global Tree subsidiary to negotiate eTV deal Mr. Elston Johnston reports A letter of intent has been signed between Global Tree subsidiary World Internet Broadcasting Network Corp. (WIBN) and eTV Technology Inc. The agreement to be negotiated will include revenue sharing, affiliate fees and exclusivity. eTV, in conjunction with Memex Software Inc., its joint venture partner, is a software and hardware development company specializing in the emerging field of Internet broadcasting. The core technologies on which eTV's product, eTVstation, is based, were developed over the past 10 years through major projects with DirectTV in the United States and PerfecTV in Japan, and with broadcasting giants CNN and MSNBC. These technologies have since been adapted for use on the Internet and can effectively transform ordinary Web sites into Internet television stations. MyCityRadio, the Vancouver Webcasting centre that streams WIBN content, and eTV propose to set up a partnership to establish a joint offering that builds on the MyCityRadio streaming media infrastructure and account base using components of the eTV suite in conjunction with WIBN's e-targeting technology. The WIBN e-targeting engine is being developed to be an integral part of the WIBN content management system. It will allow content portals to match users with advertisers based on demographic and geographic profiles. Potential licensees include radio and television stations, newspapers, and any Web site that develops a member database (on-line auction houses, book sellers and others). In the June 25, 2001, issue of InternetNews, Christopher Saunders reports: "According to a new survey conducted by Myers Reports, on-line media might be held in higher regard among media buyers than previously thought -- even higher than broadcast television. The New York-based marketing consultancy compiles a quarterly report of advertising confidence through surveys of more than 150 media-buying executives. This quarter, the firm's chief economist, Jack Myers, says his findings demonstrate high levels of support for on-line and interactive television relative to most other measured media. "To quantify media buyers' confidence in particular media, Myers uses what he calls an ad confidence index (ACI), a weighted average derived from the percentage of executives who said they plan to either increase, decrease or maintain their overall media spending plans during the next year to 18 months. While the ACI for all media continues to hover around 49.40, interactive TV buys ranked a 52.13 on the index. On-line sponsorships, meanwhile, rated 60.82, while banner ads were 49.09 -- 2.4 per cent better than in previous quarters. Conversely, network broadcast TV rated only 39.25, while consumer magazines rated an ACI of 46.35. Most traditional media, save direct and database marketing, fell well below the average confidence level. "The ACI has been a fair approximation of future advertising spending," concluded Mr. Saunders. (c) Copyright 2001 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com
