Subject: Serving content/advt based on Geography

Hi,

We want to customize our  streaming content based on geography.
For e.g., when user A from California connects to the stream he will
hear song1, advt 1, song 2. whereas user B form New York connects
to the same stream he will hear song 2, advt 2, song 4 and so on...
(we are talking about SLTA or live  streams here and not on-demand.
For live streams, we are talking about customizing advt. based on
geography.).

Its the same model your cable company uses except the streams are
distributed
by geography and so they can do it.

How does one do this using Real's streaming technology.

The only solution I have come up with is having multiple streams
one for each geographic region, but this gets to horrendously expensive.

I am not a SMIL expert. Can SMIL do this or are there any other solutions?

Thanks in advance!

Mahesh
