SMIL:Examples and applications

 
 
  The application of streaming media has expanded with the refinement and development of the technology itself. For example the bandwidth was one significant limitations of streaming. Users with dial up modems of 14 or 28 kbps, need to view presentations that requires less than such speed per second. RealSystems developed SureStream, a new technology that allows for the incorporation of multiple bandwidths, thus improving and expanding the content of streaming media.
