BT Wholesale presented an overview of its open online video delivery network, Content Connect which it expects to introduce in early 2011. Having Cisco’s award winning Content Delivery System (Cisco CDS) as its ‘backbone’, Content Connect will deliver digital content to any computer, TV or mobile device on behalf of UK internet service providers giving broadcasters access to a large end user base – irrespective of service provider or technology. This case study was presented at the CDN World Summit (Sep 28 & 29, London) by Simon Orme, BT Wholesale's Strategy Director of Content Services, together with Jean-Christophe Dessange from Cisco.
