Braxton Jarratt, General Manager of IBM Cloud Video, has built his career on addressing the issues that he believed the TV industry would have as they leapt into the digital age. Brad Hunstable is the founder and CEO of Ustream, a major livestreaming company that IBM acquired. Hunstable stressed how livestreaming is as big for the enterprise right now as it is for consumers.
