Abstract
Methods and systems for broadcast-like effect using fractional-storage servers that receive and store erasure-coded fragments, which are generated on-the-fly from segments of streaming content arriving in real-time. Shortly thereafter, assembling devices obtain the fragments and reconstruct the segments at a rate that allows approximately real-time presentation of the streaming content including the segments.
