April 8, 2008 – 6:29 pm

(Web Hosting News) KyLinTV announces today the opening of its latest Content Delivery Center in Toronto to enhance its Chinese IPTV broadcasts to the Canadian audience and further expand KyLinTV’s service around the world.

The growing KyLinTV subscriber base in Canada prompted the establishment of the Toronto Center.   These consumers are increasingly relying on the Internet to receive television broadcasts.  Located in Canada’s premier carrier independent, Internet Meeting Place, at 151 Front Street, Toronto, the new KyLinTV Content Delivery Center joins the company’s three centers located in the United States ˆ Palo Alto, Dallas and New York.  With over 150 telecommunications companies located at 151 Front Street, the delivery center provides a more efficient peering connection with Canadian home broadband providers like Rogers and Shaw Cable.

KyLinTV subscribers will be provided with improved streaming and video quality.  Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP) is providing route optimized IP network service, integrated data center space and power to deliver more than 30,000 hours of KyLinTV’s video content.

“Working with NeuLion and Internap to open the Content Delivery Center in Toronto allows KyLinTV to meet its goal of offering the best programming and most choices while uniting the worldwide Chinese community.  We are pleased to see the growth of subscribers and the establishment of this new center reinforces KyLinTV’s long-term commitment to our Canadian audience,” said Nancy Li, KyLinTV’s CEO.

Most recently, KyLinTV added the exclusive Great Wall TV package to their channel line-up.  Due to unrestricted channel capacity and no geographic boundaries, IPTV allows an unlimited amount of programming to reach viewers worldwide.

“Internap’s integrated network and data center solution was designed to meet the stringent requirements of IP television broadcasts,” said Tim Sullivan, Chief Technology Officer at Internap.  “We’re glad Internap can provide the technology services for KyLinTV to expand its delivery of high-quality IPTV programming to Chinese-speaking audiences worldwide. As KyLinTV continues to grow, and the popularity of IPTV persists, Internap’s Performance IP network and data center colocation will provide KyLinTV with the reliability and flexibility needed to succeed.”
