Canoe Cruises Toward IP VOD
Canoe, the MSO-backed advanced advertising joint venture, said it’s pushing ahead on multiple fronts as it prepares to support dynamic ad insertion in VOD streams delivered over IP to the home, kicks off a deployments with Bright House Networks, and welcomes a few networks from the Turner Broadcasting System stable.
