Highwinds Network Group, Inc., a multiplatform IP services and content distribution provider, today announced that its content delivery network (CDN) successfully streamed live online coverage of yesterday’s tribute to Michael Jackson to viewers in 203 countries. The memorial service that brought more than 20,000 people to the Staples Center in Los Angeles also drove many fans from around the world online to watch live streams of the reflective, spiritual and star-studded event. Highwinds delivered live streams of the memorial service for its news broadcasting customer as well as the live streaming directed from the official Michael Jackson web site, www.michaeljackson.com, together with its partner Octoshape, whose Infinite Edge technology ensures HD-quality streaming through advanced throughput optimization. Through global news coverage and social networking sites, the service reached well beyond the walls of the Staples Center and ranks among the most-streamed live events in the history of the Internet, perhaps second only to the 2009 Presidential Inauguration.
