Joost win Wall Street Journal’s Technology Innovation Award for 2007
Joost won in the WSJ Media/Broadcasting category and received a Bronze award in the overall category:
The Bronze went to Joost NV, Luxembourg, for a free service that delivers TV programming over the Internet. Unlike YouTube and other video sites, Joost offers full-length and full-screen programs. Founders Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström also developed the Skype Internet phone service and Kazaa file-sharing service. Like Kazaa, Joost uses peer-to-peer technology for faster, more reliable downloads. But unlike Kazaa, which faced charges that it encouraged piracy, Joost is signing deals with big media companies.
