BIG and Narrowstep To Launch Martial Arts Broadband Portal

LONDON/NEW YORK, June 27:
Breakthrough Interactive Group (BIG) has chosen the IPTV outfit Narrowstep’s
telvOS technology to power its martial arts-themed broadband TV portal, MAC
Experience.

Launching July 7, the
multiple-channel broadband site is aimed at the some 120 million martial arts
enthusiasts living in the U.S. MAC Experience will draw together movies,
documentaries, tournaments, news, animation and various other martial
arts-inspired content.

"We found that the
traditional cable network model didn't give us the global reach nor the
interactive ability we wanted for the martial arts community," said R.
Anthony Cort, the founder, chairman and CEO of BIG. "Our partnership with
Narrowstep, along with its cutting-edge technology, has allowed us to create
the world's first multiple channel martial arts broadband site integrating
social networking and e-commerce."
