The vast majority of the most watched television in the history of the medium have been live sports, news, and events, simultaneously consumed. Yet, there has been very little innovation around the distribution of live video on the internet. But it is notorious for latency issues, also known as lag. Powered by our proprietary and patented peer-to-peer live streaming protocol, BitTorrent Live allows for large audiences to view live video with sub second latency and without the need for an expensive CDN or pre-provisioning.
With BitTorrent Live, every viewer is also a broadcaster. This allows the video stream to remain strong and for the broadcast to be as scalable as traditional Over-the-Air TV. A free tier of programming will be available at launch, with linear channels that contain live events, including:.

The app will feature free content from more than a dozen small-scale channels, with BitTorrent promising that additional content including paid and premium tiers will follow. The initial launch channels aren't big names by any means, but BitTorrent can at least say the app covers a broad range of content, including boxing and MMA Fightbox , arthouse cinema Filmbox Arthouse , live clubbing Clubbing TV , and even one network "devoted to taking viewers on a journey of how wealth is achieved, used, and enjoyed" AWE.
The important part of BitTorrent Live isn't the content, though, it's the technology. In the same way that torrents spread the data costs of large downloads among multiple users, BitTorrent's live-streaming tech turns every viewer into a broadcaster. The company claims that this will solve the problem of lag on live broadcasts, allowing for large audiences to "to view live video with sub second latency and without the need for an expensive CDN.
No one's done it. No one's come close. You'd have to buy up every CDN. And you don't have back up. Bowman suggests that new technology like 5G will help solve this issue, but building the necessary infrastructure for these networks will take years. BitTorrent thinks that changing the underlying protocols is the quicker solution. It also says that unlike with current CDN-based live streams, organizers don't have to worry about scale.
BitTorrent claims its protocol is cheaper than current methods, with much less lag. But BitTorrent could have the perfect technological solution for live broadcasting and still find no traction.
