> I work for a large broadcasting company, which like all companies these days is looking to decrease it's costs. Ogg would allow us to break away from the traditional Real Media streams licenses/ upgrade support costs that we have have to pay, it would also allow our users (we are a public service broadcasting company BTW.) to have a greater range of applications available to them with support for the vorbis codecs, than they currently do with Re?lN$et0?ks. Our biggest problem in moving forward is the fact that any move away from RTSP/MMS protocols will mean that we can no longer use our Networks Appliance Netcache for caching both live and on demand content, thus, we will not be able to take full advantage of cheaper bandwidth available upstream from our ISP's web farm.

On demand caching should work fine.  Just make sure apache is serving
them with cachable headers.

I didn't know that Netapps could cache live data?  That seems a bit odd.
