Yes, it is more work but also in terms of the bandwidth to serve these awards via their own service it would be far more expensive (not to mention hard to maintain reliability of service).
Yes, I suspect most of us could pull a basic stream together pretty quickly, but that stream would likely not be up to the standard that would be expected of such a prestigious ceremony.
- windle 14y agoExactly why we need Bittorrent Live to take off. P2P live video streaming can help bypass shoddy bots.
- rabidsnail 14y agoHate to rain on your parade, but ISP-level NAT is coming (it's already here on mobile) and it breaks P2P. Hole-punching doesn't work, you can't manually open ports, and they don't support UPnP. If everyone is behind a nat who is left to tunnel through? Why, a central platform! Skype already went down this road.
- jordanthoms 14y agoHopefully ISPs will be smart enough to provide native ipv6 before they start doing NAT on their ipv4 addresses.
- rabidsnail 14y agoGiven that they're all also cable tv providers, I'm not sure how smart providing ipv6 would be.
- btbuilder 14y agoWhy would UDP holepunching be affected?
- vidarh 14y agoI'm reasonably confident it won't take much to beat the standards set by having copyright enforcement bots taking the thing offline.
