LONDON, February 3, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

- European rollout of the Global Connected TV marketplace under way

Miniweb, the leading cloud-based video distribution platform for
connected TVs, announced today that woomi (http://www.woomi.tv
,http://twitter.com/woomitv), the new connected TV destination, is now live

2011, Miniweb predicts woomi to be on more than half of the world's connected
TVs.

"We encourage publishers and device manufacturers to embrace connected
TV. This is the future of TV and that is why we have created a unique
marketplace for them. We are not streaming video or acquiring rights, but are
acting as an agent or retailer. We enable our content partners to keep their
brand identity and business model, and promote and monetize their content on
as many TVs as possible," explains Jerome de Vitry, CEO, Miniweb.

By registering their content with woomi, publishers get immediate access
to an exponentially expanding base of consumers with woomi-enabled TV
devices. Woomi gives them total control and the ability to personalize the
user experience with their brand and business models. It also offers a
complete monetization solution through either single-click secure end-user
payments or advertising.

Woomi provides an effective solution for TV device manufacturers and
operators looking to expand video content to hundreds of publishers on
connected TVs, set top boxes, Blu-ray players and gaming consoles. The system
is enhanced with user-friendly functions such as search, discovery,
recommendations, personalization and single click payment.
