Something to dream about is for example Daala codec which is supposed to arrive in 2015.&lt;p&gt;Also, is there any non patented and freely available technology for adaptive video streaming? Unless DASH is not patent encumbered.</text></comment>

That seems to be preventing live streaming sites from migrating away from flash.  Notably, NASA&amp;#x27;s videos of the Orion mission were on flash on desktop, but their mobile site (mobile browsers—iOS, and Android since Honeycomb—support HLS) wasn&amp;#x27;t using flash.</text></comment>
