High-definition streaming demonstrated on new site

By Michael Gay 

There was a lot of reaction to a story we posted last week about AOL and CBS dumping online high-definition plans. At the same time we learned about that, Akamai unveiled a new site dedicated to high-definition streaming called thehdweb.com. It’s a pretty awesome site, with video quality like I’ve never seen online. Now, you need a pretty impressive pipe to watch the video – at least 7.5 Mbps. I can usually access it via Comcast at home, but sometimes it does buffer. Some of the video on the site is from Gannett, including video from WZZM and KARE. Check it out and share your thoughts.
