SIX NATIONS EXTENDS BROADBAND REACH

Sports broadcaster Setanta Sports and webcast solutions provider Servecast have teamed up to deliver Six Nations Rugby over broadband in the US, Australia, Canada and the Carribean.

Coverage will be available on a pay-per-view basis for each of the markets and it marks the first time ex-patriots and rugby union fans in these countries will have access to such a service.

Fans with a broadband internet connection will be able to view the games live or delayed through Setanta’s website, http://www.setanta.com

Servecast’s streaming solutions allows fans to log-in wherever they desire and viewers can have the ability to instantly replay a key sequence, skipping forward or pausing the action.
