LIVESPORTS, the new LIVE sports streaming portal site, announced today that it has launched its activity with the most prestigious sports content for the Japanese market. Content will include SERIE A (Italian Soccer League) with both LIVE and Video-On-Demand content, as well as CELTIC GLASGOW (Scottish Premier League Team where Shunsuke Nakamura plays) and, all of the matches of the ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE on a VOD basis.
LIVESPORTS will allow Japanese viewers to watch international and Japanese sporting events, and will stream a wide range of sports including motor sports, winter sports and even extreme sports content.
Broadband penetration in Japan is amongst the best in the world, with over 27 million homes already wired and continuing to grow. LIVESPORTS combines the simplicity, immediacy and visual quality of traditional television with interactivity, flexibility, and far reach of broadband internet usage. Consumers have access to a potentially unlimited range of top tier sports action programs, being accessible wherever and whenever they wish to view it.
LIVESPORTS’s innovative distribution technology combines both peer-to-peer (P2P) and CDN (Content Distribution Network) capabilities enabling high resolution (1-1.5M bps) and immersive content to be distributed nationwide, to anyone with a broadband internet connection across Japan.
LIVESPORTS enables all the sports fans’ dreams to come true. They can watch premium, highly-valued LIVE sports action at television-quality definition, wherever and whenever consumers have a broadband internet connection. In Japan, this means almost everywhere,” said Andrea Radrizzani, CEO LIVESPORTS Pte. “This will also be the first time that top-class European football is available LIVE and on-demand to the public in Japan through the internet.”
