webcasting
(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.
