Streaming Magazine Announces Reader's Choice Awards 2003 at the National Association of Broadcasters Conference

"Streaming Magazine's Reader's Choice Awards are recognized within the streaming and broadcasting industry as the definitive award to win that focuses on the most significant companies, products, and sites that are involved with streaming and webcasting," commented Executive Editor Peggy Miles. "The Reader's Choice Awards tells us what's on the minds of our readers, what they're using, which companies they like, and why. Over the years, the majority of all winners continue to dominant, grow and lead in the streaming marketplace."

Eric Rhodes, Publisher of Streaming magazine, oversees the voting process. "It is incredible to see who's selected once our accounting department tabulates the results," he says. "Sometimes, we suspect a winner; other times it surprises our entire staff. Readers use or watch the programs or products mentioned, so it is an important contest to win. Readers vote for the best products as well as some of the best streaming programs from around the world. For the first time this year, we see a significant growth of readers voting from around the world, especially from Asia and Europe.
