Akimbo's Latest Internet VOD Solution

Akimbo, a Silicon Valley company that was first in Internet video delivery is back, this time with a complete Internet Video On Demand (VOD) solution for content providers’ own websites.



Akimbo supports multiple business models including ad-supported, transactional, subscription, download-to-own, download-to-burn, pay-per-minute, gift cards, account credits and more.

According to Thomas Frank its president, “One of the most important pieces missing in the stampede to the Internet video market has been an easy solution for content owners to control the marketing and sale of their own video assets, Until now, content owners have been forced to use incomplete solutions or rely entirely on distribution deals to publish professional content. We have engineered a solution that allows content owners to take control of their own destiny without incurring costly infrastructure expenses or unreasonable revenue splits with third parties.”

The first company to utilize Akimbo's solution is MavTV, a multi-platform programming venture targeting male viewers. Check it out and tell me what you think. Or upload your own video. They are always looking for video clips filled with humor and craziness, or even those that are just plain hard-core. (Their definition.)

Submitting your video (or videos) is super easy and fast. Simply follow the step-by-step instructions you'll be rolling like a video superstar. Keep in mind, they only accept the following file formats: .wmv, .asf, .asx, .mpg, .mpeg, .mov, .divx, and don’t send files larger than 5 MB.
