What's not true is you attempt to make this look like a massive
problem, which it is not.
"The problem is that every tom, dick, and harry thinks they should
create their own, additional, unnecessary, proprietary protocol that
does the same thing as the others."
Problems common to traditional over the air/sat video delivery have
been largely eliminated (i.e. jitter). No-one uses RTSP for internet
video delivery anymore -- everything is via leaky bucket HTTP chunked
delivery. Scales better, can be cached anywhere, but with the caveat
that it has some minor delay.
Even Adobe is rolling out HTTP streaming (past tense, actually. But
future tense for iOS compatibility).
