UpStream Networks, a leading provider of content delivery services, today announced the availability of unmetered live streaming, which allows customers to broadcast live video and audio to an online audience for an unlimited amount of time by paying a fixed monthly fee.
The new offering enables businesses to deliver high-quality, live Windows Media streams over the Internet without being charged for the amount of usage.
“UpStream Networks is pleased to offer this new plan to customers, which is unique in that it allows them to pay a fixed price without worrying about costly data-transfer overage charges,” says UpStream Networks President John Keagy. “We may be one of the first, if not the first, to provide this service to customers. Our goal is to save customers money while providing them the fastest delivery available via our Screaming-Fast Network.”
Organizations that broadcast live online – such as radio and television stations, churches, and those that broadcast sporting events – can benefit from flat-rate, unlimited streaming because they can stream around the clock for pennies per gigabyte of data transferred.
“We provide the flexibility customers seek by allowing them to choose either metered or unmetered pricing plans,” Keagy continues. “Now companies can save money while improving the delivery of their live Windows streaming content. Broadcasting on the Internet has finally gone mainstream, and it is our hope that this new service will enable more organizations to take advantage of the wide-reaching distribution that the Internet offers.”
