    No, just because something is multicast does not mean it is streaming media.

    An AV feed from a conference sounds like "streaming media" to me. CU-SeeMe was developed that same year, too.

    Of course it does.

    But the PR of RealNetworks is just too big and too loud to allow anyone to step up and say it so that the same public audience hears. Their critical mass is not just in usage, but also in PR about streaming media.

    Wouldn't MBONE count as streaming multimedia? It predates that by three years.

    From http://myhome.hanafos.com/~soonjp/vchx.html:
    • 1990: CCITT standard H.261 (p x 64) video coding
    • 1990 Dec: CCITT standard H.320 for ISDN conferencing
    • 1991 Sep: First audio/video conference (H.261 hardware codec) at DARTnet


    And from http://www.dip.ee.bilkent.edu.tr/cost211.html

    • COST211: Redundancy Reduction Techniques for Video Signals (1977-1982)

      Outcome: CCITT Recommendation H.121 2 Mbit/s codec for videoconferencing
    • COST211bis: Redundancy Reduction Techniques for Coding of Broadband Video Signals (1983-1990)

      Outcome: CCITT Recommendation H.261 p x 64 kbit/s codec (1991)


    Surely these people are just trying to benefit from obvious uses of other peoples' inventions. I can't even see a description of a codec in the application.

    Fast low-latency connectivity to every home, via a low-cost fiber-optic cable?

    The gap between first demo, hyped press releases, and widespread acceptance is very very long. Consider the very long convoluted history of video telephony. Even the people that have the bandwidth for video telephony do not use it much.

    Those pesky customers -- there's not enough of them, they're all waiting for others to adopt the technology, and then they don't want to pay much for the service when it gets to them.
