SINGAPORE, Feb. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- M2B World Asia Pacific Pte Ltd announced a technology partnership with Panasonic Asia Pacific Pte Ltd that allows both companies to develop local content for media exposure to the Asia Pacific market through Connected TV.

M2B World Asia Pacific Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Amaru Inc, USA, and Asia's leading Broadband content provider has signed an agreement with Panasonic Asia Pacific Pte Ltd to provide content for Panasonic 2010/2011 VIERA Connect.  

Panasonic is committed to provide the highest quality home entertainment experience and viewing options to the consumer. Panasonic's proprietary IPTV functionality is expanded and enhanced for 2011, with a new identifying name, VIERA Connect™, reflecting the transition from the walled garden approach of VIERA Cast to the interactive and inter-connected philosophy behind the new Internet enabled platform.

Speaking of the partnership, M2B's CEO Percy Chua said, "Connected TV is the way of future television. This opens up great business opportunities by tapping onto the growing internet connectivity in the Asia Pacific region. With Panasonic's planned roll out every quarter of 2011 in populous countries like Indonesia and India, M2B sees profitability in bundled contents. Furthermore, M2B with its worldwide content rights is able to expand together with Panasonic in the European markets."
