BitTorrent Inc. officially launched its “Watch Now” section where they have over 1000 movies and TV episodes available to watch for free. BitTorrent streaming opens up the possibility for content producers to offer high quality video streams to the public while generating money from advertising, a business model that should appeal to both customers and content producers.
BitTorrent streaming is based on the BitTorrent protocol, with some clever modifications to make streaming possible. P2P streaming significantly lowers the costs for the content provider, it therefore opens up the door to higher quality streams than we are used to now, and it is a great alternative to http streaming that websites like YouTube use at the moment.
