Streaming Media
Streaming media is multimedia that is continuously received by, and
normally displayed to,
the end-user
while it is being delivered by the provider. The name refers to the
delivery method
of the medium rather than to the medium itself. The
distinction is usually applied to media that
are distributed over telecommunications networks, as most other
delivery systems are either
inherently streaming (e.g. radio, television) or inherently
non-streaming (e.g. books, video
cassettes, audio CDs). The verb 'to stream' is also derived from this
term, meaning to deliver
media in this manner.
