Anyone see this... Broadcast.com Plans Do-It-Yourself Webcasts By Louis Trager, February 15, 1999 We're still waiting for interactive television's 500-channel future, circa 1994. But now, you can brace yourself for, say, a 500,000-channel future. Broadcast.com is readying plans that will enable everyone from affinity groups to individual Internet users to cheaply narrowcast audio and video programming via the Web. Mark Cuban, the company's president and co-founder, disclosed Broadcast.com's plans to a keynote audience at the IP [Internet Protocol] Multicast Summit last week in San Jose. Broadcast.com intends to announce - around the end of the month - an alliance with MSN Internet Access and another, unspecified national online provider, that will allow the partners' users to readily distribute streaming multimedia content, using multicast technology only, Cuban said. The service should be available this spring, he said. Got it off the Yahoo board. Great news if confirmed. Comments? Also anyone see the AOL deal to provide content via cable connections? Possible competition? Good luck all, SH
