Business Wire
Narrowstep(tm) Inc. (OTCBB:NRWS) and its Spanish partner Vivocom
today announced that the ruling political party in Spain, the PSOE
(Partido Socialista Obrero Espa�ol) utilized TelVOS, Narrowstep's
Internet TV platform as a key component in the party's successful
election campaign strategy. The PSOE is one of the first political
parties in Europe to launch a TV channel on the internet and
allegedly the only party in power with an internet TV channel of
this kind. In response to criticism from the opposing party and
adversity from certain sectors of the media, the PSOE launched
IPSOE TV (www.psoetv.es) in an effort to provide an uncensored,
direct communication link with the Spanish public. Since then, the
channel, which is managed by Narrowstep partner, Vivocom, has
delivered programming in both a linear schedule and live basis
featuring political speakers and party interests. During the 14
days run-up to the March 9, 2008 elections, IPSOE TV used the live
broadcast feature of Narrowstep�s telvOS platform to stream over 32
hours of live transmission which included 20 campaign rallies as
well as live interviews between the PSOE and the opposing party.
Carlos Hernandez, Communications Director for PSOE noted that "the
internet TV channel is an unbeatable communication tool for PSOE.
Having a TV channel on the web has enabled us to adequately explain
our message and political programme on a global scale. Internet
offers interactivity, multidirectional communication and a global
distribution of information like it has never been before." The
internet channel allowed the party to reach remote communities that
would not have otherwise had access to the programmes and
underscored one of the parties values: to bring the party and its
information closer to the people and allow the audience to access
them wherever they might be. Narrowstep, through its Spanish
partner Vivocom, provides its platform and internet-tv tools to
other large international organizations in Spain, such as
telecommunications provider Telefonica, the international bank BBVA
and The Red Cross in Spain. "The Narrowstep platform allowed PSOE
to quickly ingest information in order to broadcast up-to-date
figures, analysis and background information to keep the public
informed in a fast-paced election environment," stated Raul de la
Cruz Lincero, President of Vivocom. "They believe that the channel
helped to garner support for their election win." Barak Bar-Cohen,
Narrowstep President and COO, also added "Narrowstep is proud to
have provided the technology for enabling voters to further engage
in the national election process in Spain. We look forward to
continuing to work closely with PSOE and with other customers in
Spain through our partnership with Vivocom." About Narrowstep
