JoostJoost is recently in news for an agreement with Viacom. It has acquired the license to distribute the company’s contents over its media divisions including film studio Paramount Picturesm, MTV Networks and BET. The move came shortly after Viacom’s realization of Joost as a better platform over YouTube.

Basically, a peer-to-peer (P2P) TV technology, Joost enables distribution of TV shows and other forms of video on Internet. It boasts of a high-quality full-screen near-TV resolution images, easy channel-flipping and hundreds of full-length shows that makes it a favorite for watching videos on Web. In addition, it comes completely free and supports most modern PCs and Intel Mac-based computers having broadband connection.

Joost – Experience Unlimited TV Entertainment On The NetThe P2P TV technology used by Joost differs from other streaming technologies as it is in an open beta stage where the servers attend only a handful of clients, who can further invite other downstream clients to join. However, on May 1, 2007 a newer stage of the beta was announced and every user was sent unlimited invitations. Joost has signed up with several companies for the beta including Indianapolis Motor Speedway Productions, Warner Music and production company Endemol. Currently, the team is negotiating with FOX networks for further developments.
