Webcast technology has opened up a number of exciting frontiers and opportunities. From surveillance and security to entertainment, training and education a number of developments have taken place.

Since the internet is a ubiquitous medium, this development is a natural outcome of the very nature of that medium. The internet, coupled with the expansion in broadband technology has led to an explosive growth in webcasting.

Webcasting, by nature is non-interactive. However, it can be made interactive to an extent. Users can register with a webcast TV station, select a channel or a program on demand and give feedback. They can also request a program.

All major news networks such as the BBC, CNN and NBC have their own webcast channels.
