More and more people have daily access to multimedia content (video materials, audio content, television, data, etc.) on different networks, using a variety of devices, such as computers, portable media players, TVs, smart phones or even mobile phones. People from all over the world now use the Internet to listen to the radio, watching movies and television shows on demand. In recent years, applications for transmission of audiovisual content via streaming has become very popular and a great consumer of Internet bandwidth. There are great chances that this trend continues for several reasons. First, the price of data storage continues to decline rapidly, which makes it economically easier to store large multimedia files. Second, improvements in the infrastructure of the Internet, the widespread availability of high speed connections, technical content distribution and protocols for quality of service (QoS) would greatly facilitate the distribution of audiovisual content such as video on demand and live transmissions. The third reason is the ability of the terminal to meet the requirements that exist for the delivery of high quality audio/video materials that offer personalized service.
