Apple and RealNetworks Announce Internet Streaming Collaboration

NEW YORK-June 12, 2000-Apple and RealNetworks, Inc. today announced that
RealNetworks has licensed Apple Intellectual Property for streaming digital
video and audio over the Internet in the QuickTime format, and that the
two companies have also agreed to support the principles of the "Ask, Tell,
Help" initiative. RealNetworks also announced that its RealServer 8 now
supports the delivery of Apple's QuickTime-based content to Apple's
QuickTime players and is immediately available for download at

"We heartily welcome RealNetworks to the QuickTime Streaming Server
community," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Apple's open-source QuickTime
Streaming Server has already been licensed by IBM, Sun, SGI, Akamai and
many others, helping to provide great content to the more than 50 million

thousands of content providers worldwide," said Rob Glaser, chairman and

deliver the widest array of content to the largest possible audience. We're
delighted to be collaborating with Apple on this exciting effort."

RealNetworks and Apple also agreed today to support the principles of the

ensuring that each company's player applications will inform and ask the
user before changing the user's default player selection for common media
formats.

server with unparalleled broadcasting capacity for reaching the largest
audiences on the Internet. RealServer 8 delivers the highest quality media
