Why is an individual circuit to each phone better than a fast streaming signal?

A streaming signal travels as best-effort HTTP segments, and each listener's playback lands wherever their network path, buffer, and phone put it, drifting further apart as the game goes on. SoundSystem Live runs a stateful RTP session for each fan, with drift-free timestamps, adaptive jitter control, and continuous synchronization, so every listener on a channel hears the same instant. Each circuit is known, managed, and confirmed for the life of the session. A CDN can tell you all the bits left at the same time. The Virtual Audio Backbone can tell you they all arrived at the same time. Every session records join and leave times and continuously enforces entitlement, geofence, and blackout rules.
