Open Media Network Launches Beta

Posted on April 27, 2005

The Open Media Network (OMN) says it is a free public service network that will give users worldwide access to public television and radio programming, movies, podcasts and video blogs, while fully protecting the producers' copyrights. Open Media Network (OMN) was founded by Internet pioneer and Netscape veteran Mike Homer and includes Marc Andreessen as an advisor and board member. Blogspotting has more news about the OMN launch. This site follows recent launches of citizen journalism and user video websites like Google Video, Vimeo, NowPublic.com and OurMedia.org. There will probably be plenty more launching of these types of websites launching over the next six months as well.
