Title: Free Silverlight streaming service to be replaced by paid Azure-hosted service Post by: Tanya on October 20, 2009, 06:40:36 AM Free Silverlight streaming service to be replaced by paid Azure-hosted service
Microsoft is discontinuing its free Silverlight Streaming service and replacing it with a paid, Azure-hosted service before the end of calendar 2009. Microsoft is confirming the report I saw on LiveSide.Net from October 18, which is based on a blog post from Microsoft’s Silverlight Streaming team. Silverlight Streaming is a Windows Live beta service that supports hosted audio/video content. Microsoft officials described the offering as a companion service for Silverlight for delivering and scaling rich media. The Softies are saying Silverlight Streaming will be discontinued at some time in the future, with no specific timeframe offered.
