(SEATTLE, WA) April 18, 2005 - Online Video Service, a global leader in webcasting solutions, is celebrating its fifth anniversary by launching a new, redesigned website.

OVS first jumped into the industry five years ago in December 1999 at a time when few people accessed streaming media. In the fourth quarter of 1999, less than 3% of all Internet users had broadband connections at home; the majority of users had 56.6k dial-up connections. Success of OVS has come from having the vision of broadband becoming ubiquitous and that organizations would need assistance in webcasting their audio and video content to take advantage of an emerging broadband universe.

The original vision of the company is bearing fruit as organizations both large and small are beginning to webcast and take advantage of broadband networks.
