I would love to see someone familiar with torrents and streaming videos to put together a project that enables decentralized but "bundled video streams" of live video content coming from handheld devices like the GoPro. The reason for bundling the streams is to make sure new streams that have not attracted a swarm can piggyback off the swarm for existing streams. Inclusion in the bundled stream would just require a quorum of the existing streams choosing to update their stream to include the new stream. This would also help discover since you could "flip" through the channels on the same bundled stream.

The Reuters stream is live and crystal clear: <a href="http://live.reuters.com/Event/World_News" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;live.reuters.com&#x2F;Event&#x2F;World_News</a><p>Not sure if this has been posted in another thread, so I apologize if this is already out there.

The NY Times is doing a good job of keeping their coverage up to date.<p><a href="http://projects.nytimes.com/live-dashboard/egypt-political-crisis" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;projects.nytimes.com&#x2F;live-dashboard&#x2F;egypt-political-c...</a>

It&#x27;s a 2 megabit stream at 854x480.

To clarify, this is not streamed from the actual location.<p>It&#x27;s an RT live feed that&#x27;s being pushed out as a BitTorrent live stream from a safe home, probably nowhere near Egypt.

It&#x27;s incredibly inspiring to see the strength of Egyptian people. I would&#x27;ve thought after the first revolution their energy would&#x27;ve been spent and they simply wouldn&#x27;t have the numbers to try it a second time. Boy was I wrong.<p>Americans, Canadians, British, Germans, French and all the rest of you NATO puppets, take a look at what real democracy is.
