The Streaming Video Alliance, a new industry body comprised of online video and entertainment companies, wants to improve the quality of online video — the problem is, the two biggest bandwidth hogs in the ecosystem, Netflix and YouTube, are not involved.
According to its announcement, the Streaming Video Alliance “will facilitate the creation of architecture, standards, and best practices that will scale the infrastructure for online video and improve efficiency for all providers in the ecosystem while preserving a high quality experience for consumers.”
Member companies at launch include Charter Communications, Cisco, Comcast, Epix, Fox Networks Group, Level 3 Communications, Liberty Global, MLB Advanced Media, Telstra, Ustream, Yahoo, and a few companies you’ve never heard of.
