Are you kidding? Live streaming is MASSIVELY more expensive than HTTP/1.1 because of the infrastructure needed to support the hard latency and QoS requirements.

- drawkbox 17y agoWe are talking about real-time, live events. Probably DRM or paid events that require as close to real-time as possible. Sure you could delay and push out chunks of video into your CDNs and then people woudl all be in different parts of your "live" event. For live events streaming is almost always required. For DRM like sites like Netflix this is also the case. Yes HTTP hosting is massively cheaper than streaming but the topic was real-time live events or controlling the content like DRM.
