October 24, 2007 03:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Raketu Communications Inc., the global Internet communications, information and entertainment company, today kicked off their Catch The Rocket contest. Consumers who watch ipTV streamed television from Raketu will be given the opportunity to Catch The Rocket that appears flying across their computer screen. A click of the mouse on the flying rocket earns anyone who participates ten minutes of Free Talk Time to locations in over 40 countries around the world.
“Viewing ipTV streamed television from Raketu, consumers experience a new level of interactivity and entertainment you simply cannot get when you watch traditional television,” said Greg Parker, President of Raketu. “This contest rewards consumers for having fun with free calls anywhere in the world. We challenge everyone interested in online entertainment to Catch The Rocket.”
Contest DetailsTo participate in the Catch The Rocket contest, consumers must go to Raketu.com and download Raketu’s new LaunchPad Version2.0, which integrates voice-over IP (VoIP) calling, ipTV streamed television content, Video On Demand (VOD), and IM/SMS service in a single, easy-to-navigate desktop application. Once downloaded, consumers select the ipTV streaming panel, choose the remote control, activate the remote player, and then select an ipTV channel to watch. As the channel loads, a small rocket whirls across the user’s computer screen between the remote control and the remote player. Users simply click on the rocket to “catch” it, and they are rewarded ten free minutes of talk time to locations in over 40 countries around the world using Raketu’s VoIP calling services.
