I am a librarian at a public library in Parker, Colorado. Another librarian and I produce a live local music series at the library.

My question: What do we need to have and to do to get our live local music series broadcast live on the web?

Again: Don’t jump on me for asking.

Thanks,

Jeanie

Adverts and network TV are becoming Live again.

In the future there will be tools that will automatically take us to the streams where something is about to happen -otherwise 24/7 live streamed TV would simply be the boring bits of Reality TV.

People are naive, because they don’t realise that at the end of the day, while you’ll continue to have the odd shooting stars -just as the film industry already does with independent movies, most of the future will in some shape or form, continue to be provided by the biggest producers in any territory -The TimeWarners, Newscorps’ and Viacoms’.

There’s also no differntiation made between sit-up, sit-back and lean-forward television, or push, pulled and found internet video content =>there are a lot of pieces that are yet to fall into place to form the internet-video eco-system, but it’s not too hard to know what to expect will be needed.

There’s a company that does internet video that’s been going since the 1990’s (pre-bubble 1.0), stable mature created-from-scratch platform ( Forscene: http://www.Forscene.net ) called Forbidden Technologies and it developed live video a few years ago, however, most of it’s broadcast customers don’t use it for that because it’s still early days, and like voip after Vocaltec, Video-on-net has taken an astonishing length of time to pass the tipping-point thanks to incumbant telco’s, but now helped by the mobile phone industry and laptops and wifi.

It’s still early days, and the cutting edge of users, like those who visit techcrunch and newteevee, are still developing the tools and the vocabulary for something that will be completely ubiquitous and intuitive in the future, The existing broadcast professionals will eventually also get a grip of the flux affecting their industry -no doubt, in part, by the help (buying) of those who currently hope to usurp them!

Ultimately, the Internet will fulfill what it was destined to be: a big fat pipe that transports data of any type, form, format without differentiation – where every node, every user, is MIMO.

Thanks.

P.s.
just a note re: youtube: what is its USP?
When broadcasters/producers want their content available everywhere, and it doesn’t sell premium content, how is it the future, the future is diffused, when there are loads of silos, won’t most users simply revert to video-search (as soon as it’s advanced enough) or playlist-widgets from any dynamic/search/index site?

2) fake live
which means to broadcast programmed playlist.

I guess Netineo (www.netineo.com) does quiet good job on both aspects.
