Although p2p
technology has been around since the
early years of the commercial web,
it is relatively new in streaming
live TV content. Many companies in
China lead the early stages of its
development, though now many p2p
companies in Europe and in America
are pioneering its development.
In Africa, It
will be a very good thing to have
this technology in streaming media
at our disposal, because it solves a
lot of problems that many parts of
the continent suffer when it comes
to the Internet. One major problem
is bandwidth and it solves a great
deal of that problem.
IPTV is a very
good way of getting content like
music or movies produced on Africa
on the world stage. Users don't have
to install a cable or other hardware
to view channels on IPTV. They can
enjoy the service with only an
Internet connection.
You don't have to
rely on cbs, abc or nbc for African
news, get it from the African
channels located in the continent
and run by Africans not
international media. |
