Verismo Networks is introducing a new high definition VuNow Internet TV platform for help MSOs, telcos, ISPs and control providers deliver linear channels, video on demand and a variety of Internet applications, including both over the top video and social media offerings like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, to the TV.

"This is truly a game changer," said Dhaval Ajmera, executive VP of marketing and sales at Verismo Networks in a statement. "The fully customizable solution allows fast time to market with `cool' new Internet applications that offer unparalleled opportunities for differentiations."

The company believes that the VuNow system will allows traditional MSOs, ISPs and telcos to expand their offerings into new global markets or bring Internet applications to their existing subscribers. Verismo is also planning to market the platform to content providers as a way to stream their content directly to the TV rather than the PC.
