June 2006 Stanford Streams NCAA 2006 Tennis Championships with StreamZ
Online delivery of the streams was provided in conjunction with College Sports Television (CSTV). CSTV is partnered with Akamai Technologies, under which Akamai provides content delivery for CSTV’s network of official athletic sites for colleges and athletic associations.
 Dick Gould, the Director of Tennis for Stanford Athletics and one of the most successful men’s tennis Head Coaches in the history of NCAA Division I athletics (including induction into the Intercollegiate Tennis Hall of Fame) was a driving force behind bringing the championships to Stanford, and the initiative to stream the video live. “I was ecstatic to see how well the systems worked,” said Gould. “The players in the tournament were not only from all over the United States, but from all over the world. By streaming the tournament, those interested in following the players – whether their families, friends, earlier coaches or devoted fans – were able to watch the matches from wherever they were, in real time. This is great for the sport.”
