Streaming Video
Streaming video is a way to deliver content over a broadband network.

For example, NWS recently completed a streaming video project for the United States Military Academy at West Point that delivers streaming video content to the Cadets' notebook computers. The system carries both entertainment (with content controlled by senior officers) and academic information directly to student computers.

Streaming video offers many important benefits:

• Eliminates the need for racks of VCRs and the labor associated with transferring video tapes from one VCR to another.
• Allows class notes to be stored in a server and streamed to dorm rooms or on an on-demand basis.
• Enables important events to be streamed outside the campus live for no cost.
