We have started our BETA rollout phase today. Our goal during this BETA is getting out all the edges and problems that come with a wide deployment of our platform.

This said, we were lucky and already identified a couple glitches and will continue to roll out the beta.

Thank you.
The Neokast Team

We were recently linked to the following site. Many people feel this is the gold standard for live streaming:

Do you feel this kind of service and quality is restricted to those who have paid a million and up? Think again. No, this is not an April Fool’s joke.

1. If you would like higher quality than what you see on their site, you would will be able do so with our service. You can decide what bandwidth you would like to stream. Yes, that means if you want to support HD bandwidths, you’re welcome to. No sweat off our back.
2. With the Neokast service you can stream live to an unlimited amount of viewers. There are no servers to overload.
3. You will be able to install the Neokast Stream Player website plugin on your own site. You do not have to see our logo or have any apparent connection with us if you so desire. By the way, our embedded player is HUGE. It covers more than half the screen. No more thumbnail videos.
4. We will be charging a tiny fraction, and we mean tiny. Our price is comical compared to the going rate.

For those of you who have used BitTorrent in the past, you have seen that service take over your entire upload and download bandwidth. Simply viewing another website takes 5 minutes to load up.

Why is this the case for them? — Antiquated peer-to-peer protocols by design take over your upload and download bandwidth.

Neokast is a Web 3.0 company. Our technology gives rise to a Flash Crowd 3.0 service. (See our earlier posts on Flash Crowd 3.0). Web 3.0 companies do not throw unnecessary money or unnecessary load on modern day problems - problems that have the potential to transform our lives. Web 3.0 companies work intelligently to solve problems efficiently.

We would like to explain how, in using our Neokast Stream Player, you will be able to surf the ‘net and use all the applications you’re accustomed to using on your computer…all while having the Neokast Stream Player installed and running. Using cutting-edge live streaming video should never mean sacrifices on your part.
