BEIJING, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Though the boom in online video distribution has most closely been associated with the U.S. and the English- speaking market with sites like YouTube, BitTorrent and Joost making waves, media and technology players would be well-served to look to UUSee, China's largest web TV operator and P2P video network-for a very real glimpse into online video's future.
