==Etymology== The term "streaming" was first used for [[tape drive]]s manufactured by Data Electronics Inc. that were meant to slowly ramp up and run for the entire track; slower ramp times lowered drive costs. "Streaming" was applied in the early 1990s as a better description for [[video on demand]] and later live video on [[IP network]]s. It was first done by [[Starlight Networks]] for video streaming and [[Real Networks]] for audio streaming. Such video had previously been referred to by the misnomer "store and forward video."<ref name=":2">{{cite book| chapter = On buffer requirements for store-and-forward video on demand service circuits | publisher = [[IEEE]]| doi = 10.1109/GLOCOM.1991.188525 | title = IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.
