multimedia, World-Wide Web (From "World-Wide Web" and
"broadcast", sometimes just called "push") Multicasting on
the Internet. Webcasting implies real-time streaming
transmission of encoded video (or audio) under the control
of the server to multiple recipients who all receive the
same content at the same time. This is in contrast to normal
web browsing which is controlled from the browser by
individual users and may take arbitrarily long to deliver a
complete document.
Pointcast and Marimba were early pioneers.
