Broadcasting and Streaming for Local Government
Many institutions, public bodies, governments and municipal administrations are looking to be more open with their communities. Making meeting or government/ parliamentary/local committee sessions easily accessible to communities over the Internet or via a broadcasting service is one of the approaches to achieve this.
The ability to watch these sessions live or on demand will make it easier for citizens to become more informed about recent issues and more active in the democratic process. Video streaming for local government and municipalities is a feasible solution to broadcast content on public access, local television and online streaming services for central and local governments.
