You must have missed iBlast. http://www.iblast.com/why.php3 . I think
there is still equipment at one of the LV stations. Heck, KLVX has some

Future past, perhaps? ;-) It is interesting though how this particular
niche seems to re-invigorate itself every 4 or so years. (MyTV...
Starburst... Win9x sidebar+MFTP... Clevercast... Cyberstar... Geocast...
DotCast... iBlast... ).

Its all about what content you have - the technical delivery aspects are
moot and quickly forgotten.
