One of the most amazing changes brought about by video and audio
streaming on the internet is the opportunity for almost anyone,
anywhere on the planet, to set up their own online radio or TV station
for a minimal investment.
PlanetStream can provide a streaming service for a small private
radio channel from only £14.99 per month or for a small community
TV channel from just £57.99 per month. Equally our massively
flexible infrastructure meets the requirements of large multinational
operations with huge numbers of listeners and viewers.
The costs of our packages are based on just two things, the bit
rate and the number of concurrent viewers/listeners.

Bit rate is an expression of the quality of the broadcast and the
higher the quality the greater the cost. The bit rates we offer
are as follows:
32 Kbps - good quality for speech, moderate quality for music.
64 Kbps - good quality for speech and music, the most common
quality for internet radio.
128 Kbps - excellent quality for audio content, moderate quality
for video.
300 Kbps - good quality for video, the most common quality for
internet TV.
800 Kbps - excellent video quality, some slower internet connections
may not cope with this.
The other factor is the maximum number of listeners or viewers
you want to enable to receive the broadcast at the same time. So
for example if you select a limit of 50 a limit will be set at 50.
If you have 50 people viewing or listening and a 51st tries to link
in they will receive a message informing them all slots are taken
and asking them to try again later. Once one or more of the 50 disconnect
others can then take their place.
The standard options we offer are for 25, 50, 100, 200 and 500
concurrent viewers/listeners but we can handle major requirements
needing many thousands of channels. These are quoted for on their
merits so please call to discuss if you need anything different.
