Re: Webcasting as a replacement for traditional broadcasting (was Re: Wackie 'ol Friday)

This is very interesting and insightful. 

While the broadcasting would seem more efficient (and cheaper in many respect) than webcasting for the live content, 
the former can't quite serve multiple devices with varying form-factors with the same efficiency. The latter can. Isn't 
that a key differentiation? 

Cheers,
