LAS VEGAS, April 16, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- NAB 2007 -- Accordent Technologies will join commercial content delivery, transaction and aggregation network service providers in the Content Distribution and Delivery Hall at the National Association of Broadcasters show (NAB 2007) to showcase the versatility of its enterprise rich media communications solutions.
