Hi everyone, I am Erik. I work on the Live team at BitTorrent. Happy to answer any questions.
BitTorrent Live is the first product we’ve built on top of a new live streaming protocol invented by Bram Cohen. We built BitTorrent Live in order to solve some serious problems in the live streaming space. Specifically cost of scaling and live streaming performance.
We’ll be rolling out on more platforms over the course of the summer, mostly starting with OTT boxes.
We’re also going to be adding a ton of new channels and programming.
