Events and Online Entertainment
This category refers to the set of functionality required to present a specific event at a specific time (such as a live event simulcast) and/or a specific place to an online audience. These events could be simulcast in real-time (live) or archived online for repeated access. Events could take place exclusively online or be a component of a larger offline event. These might also include ongoing entertainment properties, such as games, shows, news or online entertainment.
These solutions are distinguished by a need for very responsive content management that allows for updates of information quickly and accurately. These may also require networks that can handle enormous bursts of activity on a site or sustained use of high-bandwidth data flowing from a site.
There is a wide variety of applications for online events and entertainment. While there have been many experiments in this category, there have been few successes.
Some of the possible features of online events and entertainment include:
- Game Development
- Communications Systems
- Event Simulcast
- Onsite Activities
- Media Broadcasting (audio, video, etc.)
- Advanced network design and development
- Media Production
- Event Planning
- Event-based Promotions
