News Summary:
System73 recently indicated that live stream problems typically start in the delivery path with unstable sessions, declining buffer health, or bitrate drops, often before audiences perceive issues. This assessment followed the company's observation on February 4, 2026, that live stream failures, unlike successes, are immediately noticeable to viewers, rights holders, and sponsors, referencing a high-profile Netflix incident during a Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight as evidence of live delivery's unforgiving nature. Earlier, on January 29, 2026, Jenny Drinkwater, Marketing Manager at System73, authored a guest post discussing the expected evolution of crypto payments in 2026, noting their consistent yet non-mainstream status. On the same day, System73 also explored artificial intelligence's growing, less visible role in analyzing, routing, and delivering video in real time, beyond its more commonly known applications in content personalization. Previously, on January 21, 2026, System73 highlighted the frequent occurrence of Content Delivery Network (CDN) incidents impacting providers such as Akamai, Cloudflare, Fastly, and Lumen, leading to stalled streams, failed page loads, and buffering videos.
