Brightcove's Indy Internet TV Service

A group of technology veterans including Macromedia Flash creator Jeremy Allaire, About.com founder Scott Kurnit, and Lycos general counsel Andrew Feinberg have announced the launch of Brightcove, an Internet TV service designed to let video creators post their content online and set up means of generating compensation and syndication.
