Castfire burns bright

Another new delivery platform! A post on NewTeeVee pointed me to Castfire about which there is much to be learned.

It’s all managed through a web-based interface or automated with an API. The idea is that it’s vastly customizable, so that any distribution format, subscription method and advertising concept is easy to deploy. The product was built with scalability in mind from day one, even in terms of pricing, with flexible pricing based on gigabytes served. It’s also built to run as the backend for any content delivery network, even peer-to-peer networks. “Our clients are free to distribute in anyway they choose…we are just a platform,” said Walsh.

Now... what is my excuse for posting the clip below?
