Concurrent Introduces Personal TV ``pTV'', Launching Television Viewing into the Future
Concurrent's pTV Solution Provides Opportunity for Added Revenue for Cable Operators
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2002-- Concurrent Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:CCUR - news), the pioneer and market leader in North American commercial Video-On-Demand (VOD) deployments, continues to expand on its market leadership with the launch of its Personal TV (pTV(TM)) Solution, a robust and growing spectrum of completely integrated end-to-end interactive TV (iTV) applications.

Recognizing that television viewing is no longer one-dimensional, Concurrent is capitalizing on its leadership in the cable industry by continuing to build on its successful commercial VOD and subscription VOD (SVOD) launches, while pioneering a wealth of comprehensive pTV technologies, such as Personal Video Channel (pVC(TM)) and targeted and interactive advertising.

"Concurrent's pTV architecture is the next step for cable operators to create a personalized, interactive television viewing experience for their subscribers," said Joe Parola, Concurrent vice president, Market Development, North American Cable.

With Concurrent's pTV Solution, cable operators will not only be able to offer their customers unique "everything on demand" choices, they will be able to offer the ultimate in consumer convenience, choice, and control, allowing subscribers to watch anything they want at their own convenience, while creating incremental revenue opportunities. Concurrent will be demonstrating its pTV Solution at the Cable 2002 Show, May 6-8 in New Orleans, La., booth #3023.

My thanks too Don - you're a top-drawer 'content provider'... (maybe you too could do a deal with iN DEMAND? ;)

Here's a link to the v.g. 20th Century Fox news - it doesn't quite seem official (no PR) just yet, but from the VP quote it's clear the VOD content train keeps rolling:

It's especially telling coming on the heels of their nixing of their Internet distribution deal.
