Methods of Communication – Streaming media
Streaming media is similar to podcasts and webcasts with giving you the ability to access your content on a mobile device or on a computer. Many companies are now offering their multimedia content with streaming media. Companies such as Netflix only offer their content through streaming. They even over full seasons at the day of a release instead of staggered over weeks, forcing people to wait for the next episode. They allow you to get view their content without having to buy physical copies of disks. This has proved to be a viable business model for them.
