Video communication at the Latino Americando Festival in Milan, a bridge between Europe and Latin America thanks to TVBLOB and impresaetnica.it

(05 lug 2007) - TVBLOB and Impresaetnica.it today announced their partnership. Impresaetnica.it is the portal for entrepreneurs in Italy’s Latin American community. This alliance is designed to give their community the opportunity to video communicate using the television. It will be possible to test the technology at the stand during the show “Extra – Voci, Volti, Visioni di Impresa Etnica” (Extra: Voices, Faces, Visions of Ethnic Entrepreneurship”), an initiative from Impresaetnica.it, at the Festival Latino Americando – held at the Datch Forum in Assago (Milan) from June 21 to August 26, 2007. TVBLOB will organize video calls with the US, Guatemala, and with other locations in Italy.
Josè Galvez, director of the online magazine Impresaetnica.it, is enthusiastic: “I believe the technology developed by TVBLOB is extraordinary, because it lets people communicate using a device as simple as the television set, at high video quality. I see it as a huge opportunity for the Latin American community in Italy because it allows them to create new business opportunities as well as to remain in touch with their families.”
Fabrizio Caffarelli, CEO of TVBLOB adds: “The mission of Impresaetnica.it is to encourage entrepreneurship among the Latin American community in Italy, as a way of integrating into our society. I believe that our TVBLOB Box can support this mission, for example with the creation of centers for high quality video communication between Italy and Latin American countries, helping to reinforce global ties. Everyone owns a television, and the quality of transmission possible with TVBLOB over a broadband internet connection is completely different from anything else on the market today. The high quality of the image and the interaction via the TV makes this an emotionally rich experience. TV screens are larger than those on PCs, and often of high quality since the development of LCD and plasma screens.”
At the “Extra” stand at the Festival Latino Americando, it will be possible to test the TVBLOB experience thanks to live connections Los Angeles, Guatemala and other locations in Italy. There will be presentations designed for entrepreneurs, to show how they can use TVBLOB technology to create and develop new activities.
