Knowledge Space International breaks into the French market with new client win
London, UK- - Oct 13, 2006:
Knowledge Space International Inc., one of the fastest growing IT service firms based in London, UK, has made inroads into the French market with a new client win - AFDESI (L'Association Française des Développeurs, Editeurs et Fournisseurs de Services en télévision Interactive), the Association of the French interactive television Developers, Publishers and Service Providers. The association was formed to promote interactive television services on all channels, including satellite, cable and digital terrestrial.
Knowledge Space International has been invited to become one of the partners in an initiative led by AFDESI for the development of multiplayer platforms for DTV, IPTV, Mobile TV and other mobile platforms. The resulting standard solution has to be interoperable and will be recommended to various digital TV platform developers, mobile TV companies and Telecom companies.
The entire working group will consist of fifteen of the top technology providers in France including mobile TV providers (Expway), content/game/applications providers (HTTV, Knowledge Space International), STB manufacturers (IDway), middleware providers for IPTV and DRM/CAS (openTV, NDS) and interactive broadcasters for games and gambling (Visiware, Equidia) and software tool providers for IPTV, DTV, and Mobile (NPTV, Club Internet).
Will Yan, VP, Media, Entertainment, Cable & Satellite Group at Knowledge Space International remarked, "This is a great opportunity for us to build on and expand our footprint in France, where we haven't had an engagement track record in the past. With this opportunity, we will interact with some of the best technology companies in France, and also be a part of a drive to standardize Multiplayer Platforms. Being the only non-French company in this initiative is a great honour and we look forward to continued success in France."
