In the June edition of Streaming Media Magazine (USA version) there is a very interesting review by streaming pro Jan Ozer of top CDNs.

Ozer renames Ustream, Justin.tv, Livestream and Bambuser as LSSPs (Live Streaming Service Providers) and gives a very in depth review of each. Notable that Stickam did not make the list. Notable also that all of these services have a FREE streaming option. No pay-only LSSPs (like BitGravity) were included in the review.

Thanks Tom! I know many people have jumped over the Bambuser over the past year due to the insane amount of Ads Ustream is now doing.

You can have the best of both, by streaming a low quality stream to U-stream, with a banner that tells viewers to go to the URL of your choice to participate.
Works for us :-)

Tom, I subscribed to the print version of Streaming Media magazine last week, and this week I got the digital version. Do they send both? I don't read magazines online.

Mike, No sure. I just get the printed version.

Will be interesting to see how Bambuser changes as the need for cash increases.

Mike same thing happened to me. Signed up for the print but it only confirmed for the digital... Guess I got to wait and see if I get anything in the mail...

I called them yesterday to ask, but as luck would have it, I called a few minutes after their office closed.
