Major cost savings can be had by mixing different CDNs. Many cheaper CDNs give decent US and European performance, but lag in certain niche countries compared to more expensive CDNs.
 
Turbobytes will offers both a decent price and good performance everywhere by mixing cheaper CDNs in developed markets and more expensive CDNs in any niche market that is deemed important by the user.
 
Kayal said he has been working on the nuts and bolts of the project for the past six months and is certain it will change the world. For a site hosted on Amazon EC2 not using a CDN, signing a contract with Turbobytes will reduce costs immediately. For instance, AWS in Singapore will charge $0.19 per GB for transfers out, but Turbobytes will charge $0.18 for Asia and $0.10 for US/EU data.

OIPF takes over MPEGIF assets

The Open IPTV Forum (OIPF) and MPEG Industry Forum (MPEGIF) have reached an agreement to merge the assets of MPEGIF into the OIPF.

The activities of the MPEG Industry Forum have reached a natural and successful conclusion with the emergence of MPEG-4 Part 10, alternatively known as H.264, as the dominant codec in next generation video technology and the proven successor to MPEG-2.

As in 2011, when the Broadcast Mobile Convergence Forum (BMCO) merged into OIPF, which followed the Internet Streaming Media Alliance (ISMA) merging with the MPEGIF, these asset mergers represent natural consolidation in a maturing industry - the positive result of cross-industry consensus on fundamental technologies, the OIPF said in a statement.

In the context of an “ever converging, cross-media, global market”, the OIPF says, the challenge going forward will be to enable interoperability across increasingly complex connected consumer devices and services on a global scale. This is the mandate of the specifications developed by OIPF and the logic behind the consolidation of MPEGIF’s efforts and assets into the OIPF.
