I'm actually not sure what's more intriguing or impressive -- the fact that the [streamer for high-profile event] spins up so much infrastructure and machinery for a duration of 2-3 weeks and then spins it down until the next high-profile event two years later, or someone like Twitch who does it on a smaller scale, but 24/7. Though in my mind, the illusion or appearance of 'pop-up streaming' takes the award. I wonder, how much streaming infrastructure and instrumentation and code can someone like NBC reuse between two successive olympics (two years apart)?
