Market Opportunity  Content Delivery Network (CDN) Space estimated at

$400M in 2008; Internet advertising industry grew to a $11.5 billion industry in the first half of 2008. 1  Of the $11.5 B in advertising, $3.8 billion was devoted

to online video and display advertising, up $600M from the first half of 2007.  Online video advertising is projected to be a $10 billion

industry by 2010; 1% of market is $100M! 1. IAB/PWC

CDN Market’s Problem  While bandwidth and storage pricing goes down in a

commoditized market, labor costs continue to rise  People want to shop online for services and have less human

interaction  CDNs make it difficult for companies to post content to the

web; no way to register quickly and automatically post content for web viewing; setting up an account and starting can take 9+ days  No company has figured out how to put every ingredient

together

Online Video Ad Market’s Problem  Most ad campaigns take 2+ weeks to implement  Separate contracts for ad serving and ad sales, encoding,

CDNs, and metrics/reporting  Difficult for all the pieces to fit together (i.e. matching the

ad w/ the content immediately following it)  No company has figured out how to put every ingredient

together

Our Solution (Content &Advertising Network Delivery EnginE)  Our automated content management & ad

insertion/campaign management system cuts production cycle to 20 mins  One company does it all (ad sales, serving, encoding, multiple CDNs, reporting and metrics)  We serve both the ad and the content behind the ad  We have access to all types of meta information on viewing

habits that advertisers find extremely valuable  We make the pieces fit together

How are we different? •

We don’t just serve bits; we offer a complete end to end solution



Account set up takes minutes with us, and days with competitors



Automation allows for lower labor costs



CANDEE allows people not just to post content, but to encode it, monetize it using our ad serving and manage their content; many streaming companies have just FTP



Customer deals with one company for all their needs, not one for CDN, one for ad serving, one for encoding, and one for metrics
