Live Streaming Video on the Apple IPhone (Akamai)

There have been times where I have been sat on a train where it would be nice to watch the News or catch some live event as it is happening, however up to now I've not found an application which allows you to watch streaming video on the IPhone. You can download radio applications and things for example WunderRadio but not LIVE as it is happening streaming stuff.

Yesterday I came across a website powered by Akamai. I came across the website when looking for current news on the NASA Shuttle launch. The website allows you to a couple of LIVE video feeds, one of which was NASA Tv.

Hopefully this technology will be used more by other websites in the future for the IPhone like BBC News etc. It seemed to work really well.
