Joost the p2p TV

Joost, the online television service from Skype and Kazaa founders Janus Friis and Niklas Zennstrom, launches today.

While you still can’t go to the site and sign up for the service, Joost is supplying current beta testers with an unlimited number of invites (they were previously limited to five). In addition, the plethora of big brand advertisers including Coca-Cola, Nike, General Motors and Visa will start their ad campaigns this month. Looks like Joost is ready to get its engine revving. The service should be available for everyone later on this month, and their latest version is available for download from existing users and those that are invited to join.

Joost is currently focusing on the English-speaking market; most of their content provided is targeted to U.S. and U.K. audiences. They do, however, plan on expanding their offerings to the global community, including Asia and Latin America. As they’ve partnered with several film and broadcasting networks to offer a wide array of premium programming, it’s sure to gain some traction. While it may be difficult to view Joost on your television set, I don’t think it will be too long before devices and services meet a happier medium.
