Isn't live streaming at scale already solved problem by cable companies? I never seen ESPN going down during a critical event

You would think, but technology always finds a way to screw things up. Cox Communications has had ongoing issues with their video for weeks because of Juniper router upgrades and even the vendor can't fix it. They found this out AFTER they put it in production. Shit happens.
