It should be noted that IsumaTV has developed technology that extends access to the IsumaTV website to remote regions that do not have access to reliable high-speed Internet and other forms of conventional distribution, in order to reach more indigenous viewers. This technology is the IsumaTV Mediaplayer: a local caching server that synchronizes (copies) all media content uploaded to the website. The function of the IsumaTV Mediaplayer is to make all media content uploaded on the website easily available for online streaming in high quality to remote viewer, without any buffering, lagging or additional internet bandwidth charges to these viewers.

IsumaTV Mediaplayers may also be connected to local television broadcast systems in remote indigenous communities. Through these IsumaTV Mediaplayers, independent and local community managers can select any media content on the website for broadcast on their local community channel.

These television broadcasts are restricted to the remote indigenous communities where the IsumaTV Mediaplayers are located, and IsumaTV does not charge viewers for access to these broadcasts nor collects any payments from the television signal providers. In addition, no advertisements are broadcasted on these local community channels.

Through the installation of these IsumaTV Mediaplayers in remote indigenous communities, IsumaTV has created a network of local servers designed to help users distribute their media content to indigenous audiences, and to help indigenous viewers have access to more media content.

By uploading their media content to the website of IsumaTV, users also grant IsumaTV a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, publish, transmit, display and distribute their media content on the IsumaTV Mediaplayers and on any connecting local television community channel.

For clarity, IsumaTV does not claim the right to freely sub-license, monetize or produce derivative works from the media content uploaded by users. More information on the IsumaTV Mediaplayer technology and connected communities can be found here.
