sezmi (formerly known as Building B) is an entertainment services company that focuses on combining the strengths of wireless broadcast technology and the internet to offer personalized entertainment solutions to consumers.

Building B, in plans to roll out the platform currently, claims that the platform does not require a PC or additional infrastructure to implement.
