Easy to use
The Bay Area Online Sports Network (BAOSN) streams all events through Ustream. Ustream also hosts VOD. It is BAOSN primary CDN
  • Reliable
  • Responsive
  • Easy of use
  • Cost. The current options of CDN and hosting are ever increasing. For UStream to be a viable choice pricing structures will need to be reduced
  • Link producers to clients. Because we are a sports broadcasting network much of our work occurs in the evenings and weekends, During the weekdays we have unused production and streaming capacity that could be used to help corporation get involved with streaming and Ustream
Eas of use, support, dependability
