14 DAY TRIAL // NetworkGlobal Companies, a producer of online video, has announced that its NGB.tv video library can be streamed to Apple’s the iPhone and iPad, via the free NetworkGlobal app. The company has produced the first-ever official live mobile video stream of the 2010 UN General Assembly.
The new service provides viewers worldwide with “an unfiltered look at how their political delegates address the urgent issues of the global community,” the company says.
The company’s NetworkGlobal app, approved last week by Apple’s App Store Review team, allows iOS device owners to stream pre-recorded libraries of NGB.tv's news, politics and social issues videos uploaded by independent contributors from around the world, according to the announcement.

“NetworkGlobal began after the young executive team noticed the ethics they learned in journalism school weren't being practiced by many of the major media outlets,” the company explains.
“Some networks were either playing it safe to protect advertiser relationships or veiling advertiser-paid placements as actual news content; others were pandering to religious and political persuasions with agenda-driven programming disguised as objective journalism.”
“Instead of joining the machine, NetworkGlobal decided to build a better one,” NetworkGlobal said.
NetworkGlobal plans to donate the net advertising revenue generated by their iOS app to the NetworkGlobal scholarship fund for journalists.
This will hopefully allow journalism enthusiasts to study at the most prestigious universities in the world, the company said, especially those with limited means.
The NGB.tv application is powered by VideoPublishing.com, an online video platform.
"We are pleased to be working with NetworkGlobal to support this innovative and important mobile application and make the proceedings of UN General Assembly accessible to a wider audience," said Kiran Ponamgi, VP of Customer Relations at VideoPublishing.com.
"NGB's focus on important global social issues sets them apart from many other online and mobile video initiatives and we look forward to helping them grow," Ponamgi added.
