PPMATE
PPMate has had its problems in the past, its not as popular as it once was due to conflicting reports of embedded trojans from some anti virus programs, which, we hasten to add, all turned out to be false positives. The fact that PPMate tried to get to big to soon also annoyed some people! They started off great by utelising the services of PCast, PPStream and PPMate in one tidy, easy to use application! This is where they should have stopped, they didnt and tried to add more p2p application support into the software, it didn't work as well as hoped and drove its users away!

Until yesterday webcasting live events or television channels for tens thousand of customers at the same time was pure fantasy. In fact the distribution of the video using conventional streaming technology (unicast) depends on technical parameters such as:

* upload speed of the unicast provider
* processing capability of the server (or cluster of servers) involved in streaming

All above implies that unicast costs are directly proportional to the number of users which must be served and to the quality of the video (number of pixels per frame and number of frames for second) that the provider wants to distribute.

StreamerOne is the first streaming P2P platform fully based on Italian technology now available together with international expertise, know how and technological infrastructures in order to satisfy every requirement of professionals, companies and organizations.
