Phonecast




The word phonecast is believed to be attributed to Kevin Foreman , of RealNetworks . First used in 2002 at LinuxWorld and again most recently at his keynote address at Streaming Media West in San Jose in November 2005.

Phonecasting differs from '''podcasting''', which assumes a transfer or download from a desktop PC and is on-demand only. Phonecasting does not require a desktop PC and connects directly to the carrier's network.
