NextWeb Offers Emmys Broadband
June 29, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Voice and data communications provider Covad (covad.com) recently announced that its subsidiary NextWeb (nextweb.net) will provide wireless broadband through its channel partner DuTel (dutel.com) for the Emmy Awards, which will be held on August 27.
The entertainment industry often requires temporary broadband connections capable of supporting high-capacity applications, such as uploading digital photographs of celebrities and transmitting camera feeds. In Hollywood, a quick provisioning time is essential, as event planners cannot afford to wait for slow connections.
“NextWeb is proud to be the go-to solution for the entertainment industry’s signature events;” says Graham Barnes, senior vice president and general manager of NextWeb. “Our high-capacity wireless broadband and unparalleled customer service is an award-winning combination.”
NextWeb and DuTel have a longstanding partnership that has enabled NextWeb to provide service to leading entertainment industry events and clients in Los Angeles and other cities. Other NextWeb clients include NBC, CBS, and ABC television networks, Universal Pictures, and national photo agencies Reuters and Getty Images. NextWeb and DuTel most recently powered the BET awards, which took place at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium on Tuesday.
