Not measuring bandwidth may result in excess spending for sending files that are larger than necessary. It also results in a poor customer experience since oversized files won't start playing until a sufficient buffer has been loaded. They may also stop playing at any moment if background downloading isn't fast enough.
It takes less than 2 seconds for a Streamlike™ player to measure the actual available bandwidth. Once measured, the appropriate media can be sent for optimum user experience and well-adjusted broadcasting costs.
