Proprietary inaugural stream

Posted on | January 21, 2009 | No Comments

We’re all really excited about the inauguration of the 44th president yesterday. One of the Obama administrations focal points is the protection of the openness of the Internet. However, the official web streaming from the inauguration event did not pay homage to the promises set forth. The PlayOgg team suggested that we all write the Obama administration, “asking them why the official streaming format is Microsoft’s Silverlight and not Ogg Theora. Public events like this should be broadcast in publicly accessible free formats, not used as levers to gain market share and control over citizens for proprietary software companies like Microsoft.”
