Business Idea: UStream-ing To Ethnic Minorities
2 Comments Published by Louis Adekoya April 15th, 2007 in All Business Ideas, Blog, Web/techEver since broadband became popular I have nursed an idea of streaming live video to ethinic minority groups in the western world – live video of events back home that they can’t attend, such as weddings of family members or friends. The barriers for a long time had been poor streaming technology; poor camera mobility; and poor internet penetration in some of these home countries. It seems to me that UStream as explained by Jeremiah Owyang and used by Justin.TV addresses all three issues very well. Not sure about the quality of video yet but I am guessing that better cameras could make all the difference there.
As the lead investor in the company, I love the idea of using the Ustream service to help bring families together over the Internet. Live video is such a powerful medium, and I’m glad we can bring its benefits to everyone.
Cheers Chris. I think you guys are doing a hell of a PR job and I look forward to using your service soon – your E-Seat function particularly.
