Streaming Video Technology Alliance Public Service Membership Program
About the SVTA Public Service Membership Program
The Streaming Video Technology Alliance Public Service Membership Program was started in 2022 to help organizations that are publicly-funded (such as through government grants or agencies) join the SVTA without having to justify or incur the costs of membership. This benefits the Streaming Video Technology Alliance by involving more streaming organizations that may not have otherwise been able to join. It also allows us to give back by donating memberships to worthy organizations.
