Camas, WA, March 10th, 2008 -- Mike King, President of Abacast Inc. will be part of a panel discussion for the inaugural DCIA P2P Market Conference held in conjunction with the Media Summit New York.

The P2P Market Conference will feature keynote speakers and panelists from top P2P and social network operators, advertising agencies, sponsor companies, content providers, online ad networks and Internet service providers (ISPs). Keynotes will provide a strategic perspective on what is required and what their sector has to offer to fulfill the multi-billion dollar revenue potential of the P2P and social network channel for the distribution of entertainment content. Panels will feature industry participants who will drill down to find answers to outstanding issues and outline action items that will accelerate commercial development of the P2P and social network distribution channel.

Mike King’s panel, ISP, CE and Live Streaming Opportunities, will be covering topics about routing networks, set-top boxes and live p2p streaming service offerings and will be held from 10:30 to 11:15.  The session addresses the potential roles for ISPs in monetizing P2P and social networks and if there is additional value added in terms of live streaming.

Mr. King offers a key perspective into the live P2P streaming space since live P2P streaming has been the cornerstone technology of Abacast’s complete offering since inception. “This is a perfect fit for us,” states Mr. King, “we have been perfecting live P2P streaming for eight years… it’s what we do.”

The Media Summit New York (MSNY) is the premier international conference on media, broadband, advertising, television, cable and satellite, mobile, publishing, radio, magazines, news and print media and marketing.
