Free Live Cricket Streaming on TenSports, Will Others Follow?

Tensports.com has revamped their website and also have streamed the Live Matches of Compaq Tri-nation Series (India, Srilanka & NewZealand). Cricket is religion in India and many people would love to watch it live without missing even a single ball. With Live Streaming now tensports is an alternative to TV provided you have good broadband connection.

How much will this impact the traditional way of watching cricket on Web, which include live scores, live commentary (as in cricinfo). Alexa shows the growth in tensports.com traffic recently. While live Cricket is always better than Cricinfo kind of commentary, but user broadband speed and telecast rights may be bottleneck for Tensports. It will be interesting to see if ESPNStar will go this way.
