Imaginova’s SPACE.com Becomes Exclusive Online Syndicator of Wirefly X PRIZE Cup Content

“The Wirefly X PRIZE Cup announced today that Imaginova Corp.’s award-winning SPACE.com is the official exclusive syndicator of Wirefly X PRIZE Cup content over the Internet. The 3-year deal will bring Wirefly X PRIZE Cup news year-round to SPACE.com partners including MSNBC.com, Yahoo!, FoxNews.com and other leading news sites. … There will be no other place online where the public can find live video streaming, video features, images, and exclusive stories about the Wirefly X PRIZE Cup.”

Editor’s note: How can the X Prize organization prevent – or make exclusive – news coverage of things such as the NASA-sponsored Lunar Lander Challenge Competition, the 2006 Beam Power Challenge, and the 2006 Tether Challenge – events sponsored with millions in tax dollars?
