The History of Streaming

 The History of Streaming


On 5 September 1995, ESPN SportsZone streamed a live radio broadcast of a baseball game between the Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees.
Two Thausend of their subscribers worldwide used cutting-age technology devolped by a Seattel start up Compony named Progressive Networks.
By the mid-2000s the vast majority of the Internet traffic was HTTP-based and content delivery networks (CDNs)
were increasingly being used to ensure delivery of popular content to large audiences.
Streaming media, with its hodgepodge of proprietary protocols – all mostly based on the far less popular UDP – suddenly found itself struggling to keep up with demand. In 2007 a company named Move Networks introduced a technology and service that once again would change the industry: HTTP-based adaptive streaming.

  HTTP-based adaptive streaming solutions soon followed: Microsoft launched its Smooth Streaming technology in 2008, the same year Netflix developed its own technology to power its pioneering Watch Instantly streaming service. Apple followed Suit in 2009 with HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) designed for delivery to iOS devices, and Adobe joined the party in 2010 with HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS). 

 By April 2012 a new standard was born – Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP, colloquially known as MPEG-DASH.

My life in London

                                My life in London               How will my life change when I live in London? Hey everyone!😊 My name is Emily, I'm 14 years old and my life will change a lot in a few months.  But I will start at the beginning. A few days ago my parents told me they needed to talk with me about something really important and I was really surprised because their weren't any problems at the moment. So, when I came home from school they already waited for me at the dining table.  When I sat down I felt really unsure. Maybe there's a problem I don't know of or something like that.  They stared at me for some seconds before they started to talk.  My mom said, that they thought about it a lot and it isn't that easy to tell me this, so I became more afraid but excited at the same time.

From Germany to London What would change, if I move to London ? Today we asked ourself the question: “what would change, if we move to london” and that’s the topic I want to talk about today. When I heard the topic, I thought that then would change a lot, from little things to big things a lot would change. For example The currency would change from Euro to Pounds or the cars there drive on the left side, but I think when you are in England it doesn’t really matter that much, so just if you don’t drive the car by yourself. I speak from experiences because in my school was a project in year eight and there I also took part. We flew in a big group to England, Yorkshire and there all of us get a exchange partner or rather a exchange family. Every day we made trips, for two days I went to school there. We saw a lot and also learn a lot. Because of these experiences I can tell you a little bit from my own. Firstly,  I want to talk about some general Informatio...
