A Typical Application, and New Marketing Concepts
Useful - and typical - applications of the "streaming" concept are, for example, long video lectures performed "online" on the internet. An advantage of this presentation is that these lectures can be very long, indeed, although they can always be interrupted or repeated at arbitrary places.
There are also new marketing concepts. For example the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra sells internet live streams of whole concerts, instead of several CDs or similar fixed media, by their so-called "Digital Concert Hall" using YouTube for "trailing" purposes only. These "online concerts" are also spread over a lot of different places - cinemas - at various places on the globe. A similar concept is used by the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

Famous quotes containing the words typical and/or concepts:
“Consciousness is cerebral celebrity—nothing more and nothing less. Those contents are conscious that persevere, that monopolize resources long enough to achieve certain typical and “symptomatic” effects—on memory, on the control of behavior and so forth.”
—Daniel Clement Dennett (b. 1942)
“When you have broken the reality into concepts you never can reconstruct it in its wholeness.”
—William James (1842–1910)
