Web radio and TV stations large and small can cut their bandwidth costs by 90 percent using a new peer-to-peer tool called Quickstart, developer Rawflow claims

The company points out that the proliferation of broadband has made it very easy for individuals of businesses to stream video or audio content, but their costs soar as their popularity grows.

QuickStart broadcasters first register an account and submit their stream URLs and a brief description of the content via an online interface.

Viewer or listeners download a small plug-in that enables them to connect and form a secure P2P network with other users.

Rawflow chief executive Mikkel Dissing, said: " QuickStart ...is making P2P live streaming a reality for broadcasters of all sizes, allowing them to increase the scalability and quality of their live streams and at the same time reduce bandwidth costs."

A 30-day free trial is available and licences are priced according to the amount of data transferred.
