From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   webcasting
  
      (From "World-Wide Web" and
      "broadcast", sometimes just called "push") {Multicasting} on
      the {Internet}.   Webcasting implies {real-time} {streaming}
      transmission of encoded {video} (or {audio}) under the control
      of the {server} to multiple recipients who all receive the
      same content at the same time.   This is in contrast to normal
      web browsing which is controlled from the {browser} by
      individual users and may take arbitrarily long to deliver a
      complete document.
  
      {Pointcast} and {Marimba} were early pioneers.
