Adjust font size:
Quova, Inc., a leading provider of Internet geolocation data and services, has made an agreement with Brazil's GloboEsporte.com to deliver streaming video coverage of the World Cup.
GloboEsporte.com, the online unit of Organizacoes Globo, Latin America's largest media conglomerate, has deployed Quova for its geolocation solutions for digital rights management and its technology platform for Internet video streaming. TV Globo, Latin America's largest broadcaster and the fourth largest television network in the world, will use the platform in its Internet coverage of the World Cup tournament. All 64 matches will be streamed live through the GloboEsporte.com web portal.
Quova Media will ensure that GloboEsporte.com's World Cup coverage will be accessible only to online viewers in Brazil, providing territory rights control of media content for the World Cup. Quova Media is already powering TV Globo's territory rights compliance for the first live online streaming of NBA games outside of the United States, which began February 7.
“Globo is new to the arena of territory rights management for live and on-demand video, and we chose Quova to work with because their expertise and technology were clearly the best in the marketplace,” said Antonio Maia, CTO of Globo.com. “Given Quova's success with the Tour de France, the Olympics and our own NBA venture, we feel comfortable trusting them to help us meet FIFA’s strict standards for territory rights compliance in our World Cup broadcasts.”
“This agreement between Globo.com and Quova marks a new phase in the rapid and dramatic expansion of the world of live digital content,” said Gary Jackson, COO of Quova. “The Quova Media solution has revolutionized the business model for delivering streaming video of live sporting events, and broadcasters and sports federations around the world are recognizing the necessity for our territory rights assurance. We couldn't be more excited about the impact our technology is having on this explosively growing industry.”
GloboEsporte.com also provides continuous breaking sports news coverage. It will be the only website in South America offering live coverage of all 64 World Cup matches, as well as user access to video chats, video surveys and the World Blog.
