Welcome to NETINT’s Voices in Video, where we explore critical streaming-related topics with the experts who create and implement new streaming-related technologies. One issue that should be paramount to all participants in the streaming media ecosystem - producers, engineers, product and service providers, and consumers - is power consumption. An organization called Greening of Streaming was recently “created to address growing concerns about the energy impact of the streaming sector.”Today we're speaking with Dom Robinson, who is the founder of Greening of Streaming (and Chief Business Development Officer of id3as). Hi Dom, thanks for joining us. Some housekeeping notes. If you’re watching and have questions - please post them as a comment on whichever platform you’re watching - we’ll answer live if time permits.
