UK, Newbury – July 28, 2008 – iPoint-media (AIM:IPNT), a
leading video calling specialist and provider of interactive
video application delivery platforms for web, 3G mobile and
media, announces the signing of a teaming agreement with CNT
International Limited, a Sri Lanka-based systems integrator. CNT
will offer iPoint-media's 3G video calling and participation TV
platforms to mobile operators, service providers and television

As
the penetration of 3G mobile phones has increased, broadcast and
media companies have expressed a growing interest in 3G as it
offers an ideal way for average citizens to collect and transmit
user generated content (UGC). iPoint-media's GOliveTV platform
offers these companies a solution for collecting, moderating,
storing and playing out UGC to webcasts, TV broadcasts and
mobile TV. The platform also enables the deployment of new
interactive TV show formats where viewers participate in live TV
broadcasts from their 3G mobile phones.
iPoint-media's solutions also benefit mobile operators and
service providers looking for new and innovative services to
offer their 3G subscribers. The company's Vitrage 3G video
calling application platform enables the deployment of a wide
range of interactive premium rate, community and enterprise
video services that help increase 3G traffic and revenues while
offering new visual experiences for mobile subscribers.
Suramya Karunaratne, CNT's Chief Executive/Director, commented:
