 * WHAT IS WEBCASTING?**

According to wikipedia, a webcast is a media file distributed over the Internet using [|streaming media] technology. A webcast may either be distributed live or on demand. Essentially, webcasting is “broadcasting” over the Internet. The generally accepted use of the term webcast is the "transmission of linear audio or video content over the Internet".A webcast is similar to a ' program of television ' but designed to be transmitted by Internet. Initially, the webcasts were not interactive, for which the client only was looking at the already shared material, without being able to alter anything. If there is a presenter, the webcast is used as a material of support, together with the video he/she confers this way then to be able to distribute the notes of the presentation together with the webcast. One of the most notable webcast carried out in September, 1999 to throw was NetAid, a project to promote the Internet use in the poorest countries of the world.
