It’s still not a sign of progress that an event is so far behind when it used to be actually live.

Considering digital linear TV has a delay of about eight seconds as it is (on average) its already "not live" as it is.
All streaming will do is introduce a variable delay, due to congestion and other factors.

My point remains though, and if you're that fussed about watching it 100% live as it happens, you'd go to the event in question.

The BBC should be more than capable of reducing online streaming delay to be in line with, or even better than, current broadcast delays by that point in time.

I can see why it's not the case now - the BBC live streams are a lot more resilient than other broadcasters - but I don't think they need to be let off the hook in a streaming-only future for a 1 to 2 minute delay.
