Testing Joost “TV anywhere” Service
I signed up as a beta tester for Joost (formerly called Venice Project) late last year but was not accepted due to a long list of applications. Today, I got a message from Joost letting me know that a downloadable software is now available at their website. The message reads:

as a beta tester, but haven’t confirmed your email address yet.The good news is that you can download Joost right now by

If you don’t download and register Joost within 14 days we will
delete your information and will not contact you again.
I guess this means I was finally accepted as a beta tester because I was given a special link going to the download page. The installer is about 10.6MB and will take about 10hours(!??) according to my browser’s estimate.
For the uninformed, Joost is an IPTV service using P2PTV technology created by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis (founders of Skype and Kazaa).
