Notes
1. Stream/streaming/multicast occurs when Internet-rich audio or video content is continuously uploaded and fed into your computer as you listen to or watch it. It is the opposite of the typical on-demand file downloading, wherein you have to wait for the entire file to be downloaded to your computer before you can play it. Streaming can deliver live, real-time content, or prerecorded podcast-type files (see Chapters 9 through 13 for more information on these topics). With livecasting, the audio and video content is broadcast live and is playing in real time; the listener/viewer has no control over the broadcast, as in traditional broadcast media.

5. The term webinar was actually registered by Eric R. Korb in 1998 with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, but was too difficult to defend, so the term is in common use today.
