I have been all over the net today and this caught my eye. I am sure you die hard streaming audio types will already know about this software package. I found this bit of info over at Adam Curry’s weblog and his comments about sum up what I think about the package.
“This will be a revolution in distributing streaming data. I predict there will be networks of peers who will maintain hi-quality connections with each other and will place certain barrier to entry. This might be money, but more likely common interest and few hops.”
Additionally PeerCast is a robust network because there is no central server, each user can be a client, server or broadcaster of streams. It offers anonymity for broadcasters because there is no easy way to trace back to the original stream, it is even possible to broadcast directly to a single client located in a different country and have that provide the source for the entire network.
