- |
provision of new services through an integration of Ooyala's in-video advertising platform with NTT's infrastructure services such as network and hosting services; and |
- |
potential for customizing and refining an in-video advertising platform tailored to the Japanese market, and further expanding their business in the Asian region and globally. |
