The first prototype of the modern newspaper was the series of public announcements, known during the Roman empire as Acta Diurna published daily from 59 B.C., and later in Venice as the Gazette.

But NBC is not a public broadcasting company like the BBC. We don't pay them license fees and they don't owe us anything. They're a business just like any other, and therefore it is their right to partner with any company they like. George, in an ideal world - perhaps.

They should be using W3C.org standards. They are blocking Linux and other non Windows users (BSD, Solaris, UNIX, ...).

The facts are correct, though some of the things I speculated on in this post did not come to fruition. This was written on March 5, not long after Move's CEO stated that the company would be involved. It appears that they are working with Televisa for the spanish broadcast rather than NBC. http://www.onlinevideowatch.com/move-networks-to-support-nbc-olympics/ Microsoft at MIX 08 announced integration of the Move player into Silverlight 2.0. If they went back on this and it isn't integrated yet that's interesting, but seems to contradict this story http://www.streamingmedia.com/article.asp?id=10405&page=3&c=31 If you have more information on this please let me know.

Move Networks is not involved in the NBC Olympics Silverlight project. Adaptive streaming of NBC Olympics video is not being delivered using Move technology or plugin. Silverlight 2.0 plugin will not have integrated support for Move Networks streaming. That was never the intended plan.

I was getting 750K-1.5M on ABC/Move on Tuesday night as I watched the primary results come in. (Mierda, la bruja gano) For the Beijing Olympics with so much going on during North American working hours, it's not hard to imagine them getting decent GRPs over the internet. Maybe 5 million simultaneous? Figuring that Move pushes an "average" bitrate of 1Mb that'd work out to be.....? Way too much for the system to handle. But we'll get a preview with March Madness soon. Hang on, Ben. Ah yes “adaptive bitrate streaming”. I was getting 750K-1.5M on ABC/Move on Tuesday night as I watched the primary results come in.
