Videonline Communications

Videonline Communications operates as a digital media aggregation firm, established in 2004. The company's core business involves distributing digital content through its proprietary O8 Media network. Its clientele includes a range of online service providers, carriers, IPTV and Digital TV providers, and mobile phone carriers. A significant focus of the company's operations has been the Asian market, with a particular emphasis on China.

The business model is centered on securing and distributing licensed digital media. Videonline Communications enhances standard Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies to ensure secure content delivery across a wide array of consumer viewing devices. This technological framework encompasses content management, security protocols, subscriber management, and overall network administration. These capabilities have enabled the company to secure distribution licenses for content from major Hollywood studios and music from prominent record labels.

The company's financial history includes several funding rounds. It secured a $2.00M Series B investment in March 2005, followed by another $6.29M in Series B funding in October 2005 from investors including Atlantic Capital Group and Mercantile Capital Partners. A key milestone was a Series C investment of $12.00M on February 27, 2007, a round led by Intel Capital, which signaled confidence in the company's strategy for the Asian digital content market. At that time, the company was based in Redwood City, California.
