The product looks great, I am a huge fan of documentaries myself and have always wanted a service like this. I have always been interested in small streaming sites and how they keep the costs down, your plans are very well priced. Have you guys ever thought about using P2P sharing with WebRTC to reduce bandwidth prices?

We've looked into it, but it works a lot better with live streams then on demand since the amount of people watching the same piece at the same time are pretty low. But we did just start experimenting with a product from Hola that does some pretty cool stuff with adaptive streaming. http://holacdn.com/ http://holacdn.com/

  Do you know of any good resources for learning about using P2P and WebRTC to cut down on livestreaming bandwidth costs? This is highly relevant to something I'm working on at the moment.

    Unfortunately most tech in that space seems to be proprietary but here are some companies we have found doing cool stuff in the space. Hola CDN Streamroot Peer5 Conviva Cedexis I think some have some whitepapers, but I'd be surprised if they give much away.

      Hey, Nikolay from Streamroot here. We also have whitepapers easily accessible on our website, and a free dashboard where you can test our technology in a few clicks. In terms of open-source projects, there are some projects like Bem.tv but they lack robustness when you try to scale.
