Ultravox
The project known as "Ultravox" at AOL is a streaming video project. The goal is to create something like Shoutcast but for routers, so that the data is handled much better, and can handle more users.
This format uses uvox URLs, and can be viewed in Winamp. Nullsoft is reportedly helping AOL create nullsoft.
Michael Wise is on the ISMA Board of Directors [1], and is reported as being actively involved in AOL’s streaming technology planning. In an effort to drive interoperability and lower distribution costs, he and his team are now working to standardize key parts of Ultravox, AOL’s own streaming technology platform.
