I am curious what widespread 5G adoption could mean if it was used generally as the last mile solution. Why wouldn't the high speed of the network allow for people to do significant self publishing? 1000 megabit internet could support 200 live hd streams even from the same server. Getting that many live viewers is pretty tough. So for most people, it could make self hosting at home more meaningful. People could even form collectives of synced nginx backends if they had really large audiences.
- thomasahle 8y agoSending the same message 200 times seems like a waste. Can't you just use udp broadcasting?
- ohiovr 8y agoWell certainly I'm no expert on internet broadcasting. I have experimented a little with nginx's rtmp server for hosting a live stream. Does nginx have the udp broadcasting ability? How many clients could it support? Pretty exciting if the 200 figure can be breached.
- everdrive 8y agoBandwidth availability is not currently a limitation for people self-publishing. It's the cost of that bandwidth, and then the difficulty involved in hosting a web server.
