Is Cyprus really the first country to open up a 24x7 internet TV station?
I ran across the folks at Narrowstep a few years ago and had a chance to look at their system. It was quite interesting and it was then it hit me how easy it would be someday for anyone and everyone to become their own television station.
Cyprus has just become their client and they claim to be the first country to have its own television channel on the internet, launched at a fraction of the cost of a conventional terrestrial or satellite television station.
Promoting culture, leisure and business for Cyprus, the online video-on-demand service is designed to provide viewers with information about the Mediterranean island and associated businesses.
Cyprus ITV has an in-house production company, shooting on high-definition video for the service. The Cyprus Tourism Organisation and the Press and Information Office on the island have will also use the channel to broadcast their own productions.
