Joost signs deal for JumpTV content

A love-letter to Joost in Time notes that the imminent video site has inked a deal with international net-TV distributor JumpTV. Brought to you by the dudes behind Kazaa and Skype, Joost is aiming high content-wise, having already secured agreements with Viacom among others. Joost's model of premium-video only doesn't necessarily make it a Youtube-killer as Time would have you believe, but it's gaining ground with big-time corporate content owners and advertisers. Plus, this new deal gives you another way to watch Al Jazeera in the States.
