Livecasting: WatchESPN

As a sports fan, I want to be able to watch as many sports as possible and as much as possible. The problem is TV an only show a certain amount of games at once and a lot of the times they aren’t the games I want to see.

Livecasting

Livecasting is all about creating live content that uses the Internet to distribute or stream that content. As it is known today, Livecasting was made possible by the evolution of smaller, lighter and more energy-efficient hardware, which included more portable computers and greater wireless connections.
