We would be launching second screen experience with future updates very soon and would change the way TV can be watched".
YuppTV launched this device to its loyal customers because of the impact it had with one of the streaming partner’s business decision to tie up exclusively with one the major South Asian TV service provider in USA.

Get ready for wild ride in the cloud
May 31st, 2011 10:41 am PT
Mark Albertson
SF Technology Examiner
It was about a year ago at a high level presentation in San Francisco, one speaker opened his high level presentation with a simple message. “You are screwed,” he told the crowded gathering, and then went on to highlight a lengthy list of all that bad things that can happen in the cloud, from security breaches to major outages.
This speaker’s statement came to mind again recently when the news broke that Amazon suffered a widespread failure that took down many of their Internet services customers. The outage started April 21 and lasted almost four days. Amazon, who is on pace to generate a tidy $1 billion per year of revenue in providing cloud-based services, issued a public apology that included 10 days’ credit for any customers affected by the shutdown.
The cause of the outage was attributed to problems with network changes at one of Amazon’s huge data centers in Northern Virginia. Many of the smaller companies, like Seattle-based BigDoor, who were affected in the outage made a crucial mistake in designing their IT structure. They had backup and recovery services, but they were located in the same Amazon data center in Virginia.
Ok, class, what’s our lesson for today? All together now…..distribute the risk!
The 10 days’ credit may help soften the blow for Amazon customers who went dark for a lengthy period of time, but it probably won’t make up for lost business or, more importantly, customer confidence. In the aftermath, this has led a number of companies to purchase business interruption insurance and seek secondary cloud providers as backup.
The irony here is that while the Amazon debacle has gained major press attention, the growth of business in the cloud is beginning to transform whole industries. At the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) conference in Las Vegas last month, there were a number of smaller broadcasters who were building their business model around the delivery of TV content through the cloud.
Right there on the show floor, Uday Reddy, founder and CEO of Global Takeoff, flicked on a TV and showed a live feed of a newscast from India. No satellite. No cable. Just cloud.
It’s hard to underestimate the impact this expanding technology will have going forward. But we all need to be prepared for the up and down roller coaster ride that lies ahead and accept the risk accordingly.

May 3, 2011 5:41 PM
Broadcasters and other content providers seeking to meet viewers on a variety of Internet-connected screens may have an answer in YCast.TV. Introduced by Global Takeoff at NAB 2011, YCast.TV is an OTT service that provides live TV and VOD to TVs, PCs, smart phones, and tablets via the Internet.

Ycast.TV encodes the source signal and makes the content available to PCs, Roku players, Xboxes, Wiis, PS3s, iPhones, iPads, iPod/iPod Touches, Android,Blackberry, Symbian Nokia, and Windows phones.

A key highlight includes geographical blocking. Through geo-blocking, YCast.TV can limit the viewing region to specific area. The content can also be made available beyond market boundaries. Global Takeoff points out that, "local TV stations can immediately expand the reach of their daily news shows, sports events and entertainment content beyond regional boundaries."
Another feature includes free or subscription-based options when made available on Ycast.TV, which can handle up to 1 million live streams simultaneously.
There are currently 15 stations in the U.S. that are using or preparing to use YCast.TV. One such station is Belo Corporation's KTVK 3TV Phoenix.

YuppTV Delivers First Turnkey OTT Live TV and VOD Service for 4 Screens
Internet-based Video Distribution and Monetization Service Delivers Live TV and VOD Anywhere in the World
ORLANDO, Fla., ShowStoppers CTIA – March 21, 2011 – Global Takeoff Inc., a leading global provider of converged digital entertainment and advertising solutions, today announced the YuppTV platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution for content owners, broadcasters, telecom and mobile operators. YuppTV is a converged over-the-top (OTT) service that delivers live TV and video-on-demand over four screens – TVs, PCs, smartphones and internet tablets. For the first time, video content providers and operators have access to a turnkey, internet-based solution for distributing and monetizing live TV and on-demand video services - anywhere in the world.
“Today there is a lot of TV content that lacks wide cable distribution - such as local news and sports events, which are limited to regional areas and up-and-coming TV channels that either have little or sporadic distribution,” said Uday Reddy, founder and CEO of Global Takeoff. “But content providers would like to expand the reach of these programs by leveraging internet technologies. At the same time, internet-savvy consumers are starting to expect the ability to have any TV and video content delivered to any internet-enabled screen - anywhere in the world. This trend has content providers and operators scrambling to find new internet-based solutions to distribute and monetize video globally. YuppTV offers a converged global video experience for content providers, operators and consumers alike.”
The YuppTV platform enables broadcasters, telecom and mobile operators to deliver the same content over TVs, PCs, smartphones and other internet-enabled devices, without investing in multiple technologies. YuppTV is based on a unique turnkey platform-as-a-service model, which removes the video distribution capital and monetization responsibilities from content owners, content aggregators and operators.
“YuppTV can open up new markets,” explained Reddy. “Many local TV stations want to extend the reach of their news, sports and entertainment content beyond regional boundaries and keep their audience informed and entertained while away from home. Telecom operators can use YuppTV to deliver live TV in regional areas where the copper ‘last mile’ is unable to deliver service. Movie producers who would like to release films online to avoid piracy can also benefit from distributing their content on YuppTV. YuppTV is a low-risk, high-value solution for tapping into these emerging markets.”
