Good news for broadcasters from all over the world and also Italians is Youtube Live, the new platform of the popular multimedia site that allows you to broadcast live video . Those who know the world of live streaming know perfectly well that there are numerous alternatives and free sites that allow you to create an online streaming TV channel, including the famous Justin TV, UStream and Livestream.
Youtube then enters straight into this competition by giving everyone the opportunity to create live broadcasts, using their mobile phone, a webcam or sharing television broadcasts.
UPDATE: Now everyone can go live on Youtube from PC (with webcam), Android and iPhone
For the moment there are few who can broadcast live from Youtube and by opening YouTube live you access a TV on demand, with some live and other recorded broadcasts to be reviewed.
Youtube live will be the tool of Google's ambition to create a worldwide television and broadcast live sporting events, matches, concerts and interviews.
However, the population of regular Youtube users will not be excluded, therefore, as the official blog post says, the possibility of broadcasting live will be gradually released as an additional option on Youtube channels.
For sure (at least I think), when the test phase ends, anyone with a Youtube account will be able to broadcast from his home or even as a video amateur from an iPhone or Android smartphone.
You can already try watching some live events even if for now they are only in English and not of great interest.
You can imagine how Youtube can become a pay-TV competitor for events such as the World Cup, regular and non-pirate competitor as we are used to seeing on the internet.
