Understanding Audio and Video Streaming Pricing

Streaming audio and audio with video over the Internet can be compared to broadcasting over radio and television. However, when you stream rich media over the internet your message is instantly available worldwide.

In radio and television, air-time is a finite commodity. Pricing is essentially based on the amount of air-time your broadcast consumes and the projected number of viewers who would be expected to see your broadcast in the assigned time slot.

Over the Internet, bandwidth is the finite commodity. If you do your own Internet broadcasting, you will be limited to the bandwidth of the data network available to you at your facility. Only so much bandwidth is available to and from a particular area. Only so many viewers can simultaneously stream content.

Using ViewCast's high performance streaming network, your broadcast originates from a network specifically designed to deliver bandwidth anywhere in virtually unlimited volume. Without making any change at all in the data-handling capacity of your own network, you can provide as little or as much viewing as needed. You will never be limited as to how much your viewership can grow... and your streaming performance is absolutely state of the art giving your visitors the best experience possible.

Radio and television pricing is based airtime cost and anticipated viewership.

Internet-streaming pricing is based on:

• The total amount of file storage space for all your audio and video files
• The total amount of data streamed across the internet
