Update from the Standards Vice President: Streaming
Bruce Devlin
The term “streaming” has become so common to us that it now covers a variety of different business areas, technologies, and end-user experiences. I remember the legendary Roderick Snell explaining to me that no new media format has really killed off the incumbent formats. Radio did not kill off newsprint or magazines. Cinema did not kill off radio. TV did not kill off the cinema. Streaming is different. Streaming is a technology used to deliver event cinema. Streaming is used to deliver live TV. Streaming is used to deliver over-the-top (OTT) services.
