Does anyone else know of open source (or not) tech that would easily allow live streaming like color did? I'm sure it needs some kind of beefy backend, no? Use case: Local sporting events with smartphone holding spectators capturing different "views".
Given that they had the cash, Akamai's iPhone streaming service or they rolled their own. It's fairly well documented, search for HTTP Live Streaming. The kicker is building it out to manage thousands of connections without dropping quality, and getting low-delay if you want a genuine 'live' experience. There's also OpenTok.
