MEDIA BLOGGERS ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES TSUNAMI VIDEO HOSTING INITIATIVE: Here's an important effort from the MBA:
The Media Bloggers Association, in partnership with Zubr Communications, launched today the Tsunami Video Hosting Initiative, a public service offered in response to concerns over bandwidth issues facing bloggers doing a tremendous public service by providing video of the tsunami to the world.
The Tsunami Video Hosting Initiative is a "distributed content-broker" system that matches web hosts willing to donate server space and bandwidth with bloggers and other Tsunami video sources looking to defray their cost of hosting Tsunami video. ZubrCom has led the way by donating its services in development of the Content-Broker system as well as server space and transfer capacity.
"When the word went out that bloggers needed help dealing with the high cost of bandwidth from hosting Tsunami video," said Robert Cox of the Media Bloggers Association, "the MBA saw an opportunity to fulfill its mission by supporting citizen's media and hyperlocal news reporting by bloggers. Rather than leave it to bloggers to beg for cost reductions from their ISPs, the MBA is matching willing ISPs with willing bloggers and other video sources."
Web Hosts can donate specified amounts of storage and bandwidth. All donors will receive a mention on the Tsunami Video Hosting Initiative home page.
