downloadable/ping scenario, I would assume, because:
1. most computers that are prepared for quality streaming are likely
hard-wired-online anyway.
2. Cell phone distributions or other platforms that might normally
just connect to get the data and then go off-line again, will likely
not be up for streaming, because that is big service cost to stay
online.
3. If you can make ad money without paying for bandwidth, that would
be the biggest reason.
4. Considering we know nothing about how many people watch any given
TV show, even with d/l files, you can be way more accurate than the
advertiser demand on TV.
5. According to the Red vs. Blue guys, who receive 1 million d/l a
week from their weekly show, its to the advantage of the content
creator to not be overly specific because deep down inside, you may
feel that your video is being watched by more people than are
reported (sometimes two people are in the room when they watch your
video, or someone e-mails it to a friend or watches again, etc.)
6. By having the file d/l instead of streaming, you are allowing for
a wider distribution potential, it seems.
I should be working but this is like relaxing to me :)0)
