Hi Forum,

Anyone with helpful feedback (pro or con) re EdgeCast as a streaming provider, especially as compared to UStream's 'Pro' offerings?

In terms of 'fit' and requirements, we'd be looking for:
- about 3000 viewer hours projected over 40 broadcast hours,
- ad-free delivery,
- probably not Pay-per-view,
- ideally no added CDN branding / watermark,
- delivery to wide range of devices (desktop, iOS, Android) and pipes (fixed broadband, mobile),
- viewers primarily in a single region (Southwest USA),
- availability of realtime and detailed metrics (unique visitors, time of day, length of visit, device, bitrate & resolution served, etc),
- recording / playback (Cloud DVR functionality)

Interesting difference in UStream's 'per hour' charge model vs. EdgeCast's 'per terabyte' - I imagine it works out similar in the end, though I like the EdgeCast option of being able to throttle down the broadcast stream if charges trend higher than expected ;)

Thanks!
