Details on Participating in iBEAM's Free MaxCaster Service Program
Participation Requirement
To qualify for the free MaxCaster™ service program, Access Providers must have a subscription base of either:
  • 10,000 narrowband (less than 144 Kbps) subscribers, or
  • 1,000 broadband (144 Kbps or greater) subscribers
Program Details
The program begins shortly after the Access Provider signs a contract for service with iBEAM Broadcasting® Corporation. The agreement allows the ISP free use of our MaxCaster services for the term of the agreement. iBEAM reserves the right to redefine the hardware comprising the MaxCaster media serving system.

iBEAM installs, maintains, and retains ownership of the hardware covered by the program. The MaxCaster system may not be used for any purposes other than those offered and delivered by iBEAM.
