Windows Media has the capability to stream live or on demand
audio / video data. Publishing points can be distributed across a local area network (LAN) or the entire Internet.
The "how to" behind Windows Media Streaming is pretty basic. The broadcaster sends
a signal via the Windows Media Encoder up to the Windows 2k8 Server. The server
acts a common hub for the world. The audience tunes in or downloads streaming
media through a unique link in Windows Media Player.
