News Burst: GTS launches streaming media service
A partnership announced Tuesday between Global TeleSystems (GTS), Microsoft and Compaq will enable European TV broadcasters to simultaneously transmit their content online as a video stream.
The service is already live, with Good Morning TV (GMTV) the first to take advantage of it.

The new service will use Microsoft's digital rights software, and run on Compaq's servers.
