Tuning in for Microsoft’s LiveStation Sneaky Plan


Video: Matteo Berlucchi

Microsoft is getting renewed attention this week for LiveStation, an Internet video site co-developed by its research arm and Skinkers, a British start-up. LiveStation uses peer-to-peer technology to allow live video to be more effectively broadcast over the Internet. In this video, Skinkers CEO Matteo Berlucchi says that the company wants to do several months of more beta testing to see how the application performs and scales, with a goal of a broader 1.0 release by October.

However, in a response to an Ars Technica post, the LiveStation team says it is not aiming to compete with Joost, but is instead focused on using peer-to-peer networks to deliver live television.
