Wowza Pro Powers Imediasee, Broadline Media's Revolutionary Fair-Priced HD Streaming Service
Innovative Service Enables Highly Differentiated Offerings with Unique, Usage-Based Pricing Model

San Jose & Oakland, CA, March 3, 2008 — Wowza Media Systems, emerging leader in streaming media server software, announced today that Imediasee® (www.imediasee.com), Broadline Media's recently unveiled fair-priced streaming service, has chosen the award-winning Wowza Media Server™ Pro as its exclusive Flash® streaming platform.

Wowza Pro's superior reliability, unique TiVo-like navigation and strong anti-ripping security functionality combined with its market-leading pricing, enable Imediasee's very compelling and economical HD and SD streaming services. In addition, Wowza's Java based server-side extensibility was a key factor in Imediasee's decision.

"Our ‘wow' for Wowza was their architecture," said Steve Popper, CEO, Broadline Media Corp. "With Java programming on the server-side, Wowza was not just a widget, but a platform for us to build on to deliver personalized, business-critical solutions."

Unlike other common service pricing practices which result in high fees for unused capacity or astronomical overage charges, Imediasee's empowers customers to only pay for what they use. With a choice of either Per Minute Streaming Packages or Per GB Streaming Packages customers can buy a set amount to use whenever they like. What's more, there are no monthly charges, set-up fees, or long-term contracts.

Imediasee customers are already reaping the benefits of this ground-breaking model. Very Short Movies (VSM) online film festival (www.veryshortmovies.com) is generating exposure for short movie filmmakers through high-resolution video. Serge Polakoff, founder of the VeryShortMovies.com online film festival, said, "Veryshortmovies.com chose the Imediasee Flash video streaming service because it offers a TV-quality on-line viewing experience critical to our filmmakers and audiences at an unprecedented price."

"The service market has been dying for a provider like Imediasee," said David Stubenvoll, CEO and Co-Founder, Wowza Media Systems. "With the proliferation of streamed live events in particular, it only makes sense to offer customers a fair-priced billing structure that's flexible to their individual needs. We are pleased to be a part of the Broadline visionary move in creating a highly-differentiated video streaming service with this unique pricing approach."
