A free public service network has been launched to give users worldwide access to public television and radio programming, movies, podcasts and video blogs, while fully protecting the producers’ copyrights.
The Open Media Network (OMN) service offers users a broad selection of free public programs with a simple TV-style program guide and automatic background deliveries of favorite scheduled programming. Content producers can easily add their programming to the network, with unlimited free delivery of their shows and with digital rights protection. Through the service, consumers can view the content on multiple devices, including PCs and iPods today and televisions and cell phones by this summer.
Open Media Network can be used by anyone with Internet access across the globe without charge. The program guide is available at www.omn.org. The user automatically gets OMN with their first video or audio download. They can then use the program guide to choose additional programs to be automatically downloaded in the background.
