摘要

On April 1, 1999, Yahoo announced to acquire Internet audio and video broadcasting upstart Broadcast.comfor $5.7 billion. News of the acquisition created big bang in the Wall Street, sending Broadcast.com sharessoaring. This event also caused investors to quickly push upwards the valuations of related companies, fromthe branded, leading software solution and service provider RealNetworks, Inc., to small-cap, niche playerssuch as Audiohighway.com and TCI Music, Inc. By delivering live or on-demand audio and video content overthe Internet, streaming media technology has received strong acceptance from both Internet users andindustry players ranging from ISPs to software vendors to content aggregators to network infrastructureproviders. Traditional broadcasters are also monitoring its development since such technology may threatentraditional means of video distribution, especially given that broadband access is growing more ubiquitous andmore affordable to both business and consumer users.After the aggressive buying of Net stocks in late March and early April, shares of broadcast.com,RealNetworks, and other streaming media players, together with the whole Internet sector, had providedinvestors with a reality check by the time this paper was written (up again since October 1999!). However, thewealth creation opportunities of the dot-com gold rush and the potential of streaming media to the World WideWeb still remain very attractive, if not more so. Streaming media will not be a novelty but rather, an integralpart of Internet services. It is the technological pathway to true media convergence. This paper reviews thehistory of streaming media, examines its market segmentation and value proposition, and analyzes streamingmedia's roles and opportunities in the Internet, its promises for new media, and the challenges facing it goingforward.
