2Much Celebrates 9 Years In Business

Live video chat system creator 2much Internet Services is celebrating nine years in business and has launched a general call out to the local industry to celebrate at their Montreal loft offices this Friday, April 14th.

"I see it more as celebrating the start of our tenth year in business," said company founder Mark Prince. "We've been through really hard times and survived - the cliche has it right: it made us stronger."

The event also intends to celebrate the sixth anniversary of the live video chat site on which the company built its current good fortunes, LiveCamNetwork.com.

"The company [2much.net] came first, obviously," said Prince. "2Much used to put together videochat sites for clients from scratch. But my frustration dealing with various video streaming providers and designers lead me to create my own site, which acted as great publicity for the software."

In 2000, LiveCamNetwork.com became the first high-speed video streaming chat site on the net. "I wanted an adult site that people who invested in the high speed hardware could use to show-off with."

The idea was a gamble that paid off, because DSL barely had 16% coverage at the time. "We hit the DSL market only - no Dial-up 28K or 56K," said Prince. "But that was a great way to pre-qualify the traffic."

Prince also developed the system and pre-researched package as a complete turnkey solution.

Since then LiveCamNetwork has developed its MBase model-sharing system ("Sort of a plug-out feed," said Prince), the first live high-definition video stream, and now powers over 50 websites. LiveCamNetwork HD2, 2much's next generation system, is due by summer.

2Much and LiveCamNetwork evolved on parallel lines, according to Prince, "So that the fun and atmosphere of running a small webcam site and studio has grown to affect the larger company as a whole. It's the tightest, friendliest unit of people working together I've ever seen, and what we've achieved together is something I couldn't be prouder of."

These achievements were recently crowned when the companies were featured as regular "characters" in the documentary series following the online adult industry, Webdreams, on Showcase Television.

Local industry members are invited ("Not just from around Montreal, I mean we have guests flying in from Toronto or California," said Prince.) to RSVP their attendance to media@@@2much.net.
