The VPN also provides a more stable and controlled environment than streaming. We had already found that with streaming we could not control the quality of connection and this would cause buffering. No problems with rights/clearance as educational and also very controlled narrowcasting with a secure network and controls on downloading.

Did you use satellite, was it streamed etc was it a vblog. Also did the project encounter problems with performers and music rights clearance for simulcast.
