Tokyo, May 22 - KDDI will release a 'streaming service', part of its broadband Internet service that will offer users a platform on which they can play movies and music in real time over the internet.
From corporate product introductions and business explanations broadcast through websites, to entertainment and news, internet streaming has proliferated rapidly recently. With more and more people accessing the internet and the spread of broadband connections, streaming is set to be an ever-present factor in IT in years to come.
For users broadcasting pictures and music, KDDI's streaming service provides receivers with a platform that provides real time playback capabilities over the internet. The streaming service will be better for internet users since it is much quicker to use streaming than to download and save data on a hard disk.
The service will be accessible for all levels as KDDI will offer entry menus for first time users and more technical menus for content providers, and in conjunction with the DION high capacity backbone becomes an effective and reliable high capacity transmission service.
KDDI will also deploy various e-business platforms in addition to the streaming service to deliver contents required by both content providers and Internet users.
