AOL Takes Streaming Video to Next Level
An AP newswire article by Anick Jesdanun, via Yahoo! News:
How times have changed since Victoria's Secret tried to broadcast its Spring Fashion Show over the Internet more than six years ago.
Victoria's Secret couldn't handle all the pairs of eyes that wanted to see supermodels in racy lingerie. Many visitors saw jagged video or nothing at all. But the company learned and added capacity the next time around, as did others who have since tried to webcast big events.
Fast forward to 2005: America Online Inc. broke its own records — and possibly all Internet records — in delivering seven separate feeds from Saturday's Live 8 concerts — all without any meltdowns.
