It seems -way- overpriced at the low end of the spectrum. I used to run a live show + Q&A for my Facebook game last year using Ustream. To use Watershed, it would have cost me over $600 a month for something that was inferior to what I was already doing. In a few work hours (and $0), I was able to throw up a branded page on my site with the ustream feed embeded next to a customized Meebo room. Saving this one time hassle would not have been worth the cost.


Yeah, this appears to be 10x the price of Wowza EC2 on the low end. Granted, it's more powerful.
