Personal broadcasting seems to become a hot issue. This is due by the ease and fun and to the things that one can do with it. One can easily set up an own online show, become a dj or even a live reporter by using some software on a smartphone. It is revolutionary to the expense to set up a broadcasting channel some years ago. And live broadcasting may become a killer application as publishing companies are eager to embrace user generated content to enrich their services and to acquire up to date reports. For user generated content there are already a couple of marketplaces for photos and video content. Last but not least it is advantageous for publishers by covering a broader range of events recorded or live and a general or occasional business opportunity for everyone.
