NEXUS-IBA As An R&D Organization
NEXUS International Broadcasting Association is also a research and development organization that developed the first known Content Delivery Network in 1995. As a non profit organization NEXUS-IBA acts as a research incubator with hi-tech professionals in the computing, Internet, telephone and media industries for a number of media related technologies. Since early 1995 NEXUS-IBA's Content delivery network technology - called WorldDirector and later incorporated by its spin off Wornex International - has been used for distribution of NEXUS-IBA members' audio & video streaming channels, as well as other archives and web services belonging to the Association's members.
NEXUS-IBA also participated in a three year research project under the European Union's 5th Framework Program (Information Society Technologies, Key Action I.4.2, On-line Support to Democratic Processes) for the development of DEMOS (Delphi Mediation Online System), an Internat based platform to favour debate among citizens and politicians, aimed at facilitating "online-democracy".
DEMOS has been completely re-designed and made available to government bodies and private enterprises by NEXUS-IBA's spin off Wornex International, with the continued support of NEXUS-IBA researchers.

“Your organization is not a praying institution. It’s a fighting institution. It’s an educational institution right along industrial lines. Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!”
