To which I replied:
Mark Aitken's plan is to make use of the multicast/broadcast optional feature
of LTE (which has not yet been fully developed in LTE, last I saw on this), and
also to provide some two-way service, over the medium.
In case this isn't obvious, let me add this:
If you're using the multicast/broadcast feature of LTE, as Mark proposes, it
means that you still want to deliver live streams. Not just on-demand streams.
These "live streams" can be converted to "on-demand" the old-fashioned way,
with local storage in the receiving device.
Or you can use the two-way service, over this new infrastructure, for the
on-demand service.
And again, none of this is new to broadcasters.
