Sezmi was founded with an ambitious goal: to redefine the television experience with the first-ever personal television system. Our management team, with its strong and convergent industry strength, realized that no one was tackling a consumer demand both fundamental and, until now, unaddressed: to provide a true, fully-integrated alternative to expensive and mostly “by-appointment” television.
Sezmi offers the best of TV and the Internet in a seamlessly integrated, personalized way. We’ve completed successful technical trials and are now in consumer trials and we’ll be launching in U.S. markets in 2009.
