Various on-demand movie and television services popping up the final number of years have introduced some new terminology to many of us who are not technologically savvy, and who are just beginning to explore the vast, uncharted territories described as the worldwide web. One term that is practically a household term is streaming. The concept of streaming isn't new. Radio and television are streamed. Streaming is, in a nutshell, a delivery method for media. We can stream anything that will be digitalized, including music, free movies online, sports, and television shows.

One statistic that may surprise many people is that 30% of all internet traffic today is from Netflix streams alone. And over-the-top (OTT) media consumption from distributors like Netflix, Hulu Plus and SuperPass is projected to increase by 60% within the next 24 months.

To clarify, you will find two kinds of video streaming - live and on-demand.
