Report Excerpt
|
|
In order for Streaming Media to take off, broadband must be supported, deployed, and used everywhere; from the content creator, throughout the delivery chain, to the receiving end-user devices. On top of the broadband infrastructure, several other critical infrastructure components are required to enable streaming in broadband networks including:
• developing streaming media protocols suitable for an Internet protocol (IP) network;
• assuring streaming media formats interoperate;
• creating content delivery networks; and
• creating muscular broadband networks and resolving last mile issues.
Five network-enabling segments have emerged to address these issues:
• encoders of audio/video production material;
• digital right management (DRM) providers for security/encryption;
• content hosts (storage and backup of streamed content);
• network service providers (content delivery); and
• performance-measurement service providers.
