I'd like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season. This past year has been an eventful one for Phenix, with new clients (some soon to be announced), important technological advancements, and an expanding marketplace belief in the value of real-time video streaming at scale. As we cross the rubicon to 2023, Phenix is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the growing demand for real-time streaming. Can't wait to get the new year started!

MLB And In-Play Betting Might Be The Perfect Marriage
In his most recent article for Sports Handle, Mark Saxon reminds us that baseball's slow pace and long season make for a perfect micro-betting experience.
"Not long ago, many people thought baseball's deliberate pace of play would doom it in a world in which human beings have constant information and stimulation literally at their fingertips. But in an ironic twist, that slow pace and baseball’s lengthy season have potentially given the sport a massive edge in the in-play betting markets, where handheld devices dominate."

The Tech of Sports Podcast
Our Chief Marketing Officer, Jed Corenthal, recently sat down with Rick Limpert at Tech of Sports to discuss the myriad of interactive features and personalization options unlocked by synchronized real-time video delivery.

Not to mention the endless opportunities for micro-wagering and sports betting with longer betting windows open for fast-paced sports.
They concluded their discussion with an overview of the state of sports streaming and the need to implement innovative solutions to avoid frustrating delays, buffering, and cutting out on streams that consumers already pay too much for. Listen to the full podcast here.
