Spanish Party PSOE Uses Narrowstep Platform to Help Win National Elections

  
    
  
  
    
      Narrowstep(tm) Inc. (OTCBB:NRWS) and its Spanish partner Vivocom today 
      announced that the ruling political party in Spain, the PSOE (Partido 
      Socialista Obrero Español) utilized TelVOS, 
      Narrowstep's Internet TV platform as a key component in the party's 
      successful election campaign strategy.
    
    
      The PSOE is one of the first political parties in Europe to launch a TV 
      channel on the internet and allegedly the only party in power with an 
      internet TV channel of this kind. In response to criticism from the 
      opposing party and adversity from certain sectors of the media, the PSOE 
      launched IPSOE TV (www.psoetv.es) in 
      an effort to provide an uncensored, direct communication link with the 
      Spanish public. Since then, the channel, which is managed by Narrowstep 
      partner, Vivocom, has delivered programming in both a linear schedule 
      and live basis featuring political speakers and party interests. During 
      the 14 days run-up to the March 9, 2008 elections, IPSOE TV used the 
      live broadcast feature of Narrowstep’s telvOS 
      platform to stream over 32 hours of live transmission which included 20 
      campaign rallies as well as live interviews between the PSOE and the 
      opposing party.
    
    
      Carlos Hernandez, Communications Director for PSOE noted that "the 
      internet TV channel is an unbeatable communication tool for PSOE. Having 
      a TV channel on the web has enabled us to adequately explain our message 
      and political programme on a global scale. Internet offers 
      interactivity, multidirectional communication and a global distribution 
      of information like it has never been before." The internet channel 
      allowed the party to reach remote communities that would not have 
      otherwise had access to the programmes and underscored one of the 
      parties values: to bring the party and its information closer to the 
      people and allow the audience to access them wherever they might be.
    
    
      Narrowstep, through its Spanish partner Vivocom, provides its platform 
      and internet-tv tools to other large international organizations in 
      Spain, such as telecommunications provider Telefonica, the international 
      bank BBVA and The Red Cross in Spain.
    
    
      "The Narrowstep platform allowed PSOE to quickly ingest information in 
      order to broadcast up-to-date figures, analysis and background 
      information to keep the public informed in a fast-paced election 
      environment," stated Raul de la Cruz Lincero, President of Vivocom. 
      "They believe that the channel helped to garner support for their 
      election win."
    
    
      Barak Bar-Cohen, Narrowstep President and COO, also added "Narrowstep is 
      proud to have provided the technology for enabling voters to further 
      engage in the national election process in Spain. We look forward to 
      continuing to work closely with PSOE and with other customers in Spain 
      through our partnership with Vivocom."
