Verizon Offers Revver UGC Content to Pay-TV, Broadband Consumers

NEW YORK, February 22: Customers of Verizon’s FiOS TV pay-TV
service, as well as its broadband customers, will soon have free access to
content from the viral videos marketplace Revver.com.

Verizon will deliver selected Revver videos and other
Internet video content to the TV sets of FiOS TV customers as part of its
next-generation FiOS TV service later this year. Revver content will also
launch on Verizon's Surround broadband entertainment portal by the end of the
first quarter. Verizon customers will now be able to stream premium Revver
videos on their TV sets and PCs. Through a separate agreement, Verizon Wireless
already makes Revver videos available to Verizon Wireless customers with V
CAST-enabled handsets.

Revver is the first online video service to compensate users
for sharing content online, with a 50/50 revenue split. It says it does not
accept copyright-infringing content.

"We're joining with Revver to bring the user-generated
video phenomenon to the TV set," said Marilyn O'Connell, Verizon’s senior
VP of video solutions. "Backed by Verizon's technology, we'll make it easy
for our FiOS TV and broadband customers to enjoy the best of the cutting-edge
videos that Revver is known for. This is just another way that FiOS continues
to distinguish itself from old-fashioned TV."

Steven Starr, the founder and CEO of Revver, added:
"Revver prides itself on attracting the very best digital video creators
who are producing entertainment for the Internet today. This initiative will
help us further support our creators by bringing their content to a whole new
TV audience. It's a fantastic opportunity for our company and the growing
Revver community."
