AUDIO BROADCAST ON THE INTERNET
Audio Broadcast @ Internet: What are the requirements?
Chairman: Gerhard Stoll
Increased availability of bandwidth, faster modems, improved and
scalable audio coding schemes will create the opportunity for better
audio quality on the web. Will the Internet be able to broadcast not
only news but also music channels and sport events, maybe even in
surround sound? What are the benefits for the listeners and what
will be the revenue potential for the content providers? What are the
necessary tools and protocols on the Internet and what are the
provisions to protect the music industry? Specialists in the fields of
streaming audio, IP protocols, online broadcasting, copyright and
watermarking will try to answer these questions.
