If you regularly broadcast videos then you ought to know the latest BitTorrent Live, which has just entered public beta. BitTorrent has developed a P2P streaming protocol for the masses with an aim to reduce the infrastructure costs and network delays - which is a big hurdle in live broadcasting. The popular live streaming services like uStream, Livestream are now getting a worthy competitor with the P2P advantage. In simpler words, the service will let you broadcast any even live with your mobile phone, tablet or laptop computer. 
Since it's a P2P protocol, the more people who join your live broadcast, the more stable and reliable it gets. BitTorrent has been testing this protocol in a closed beta with digital content creators and live event organisers since November last year. Creators say that they've demonstrated the ability to scale the service and its reliability through their limited closed beta.
There is no official word on when will the service exist its beta period and enter gold. But it should be ready for the masses in the coming weeks.
