It means that Jobs would like to avoid the fiasco he faced last time when every journalist in the room was attempting to live stream the broadcast via WIFI.

This article makes some heavy, unsubstantiated assumptions based on little to no evidence. Purely a guess.

Or it's just that they believe to have found a way to stream to half the interwebs in real time. A few years ago Apple used to have life QuickTime feeds of their conference after all.

this has been tossed around, but the issue has not been journalists broadcasting over WiFi. Apple never provides WiFi. The issue was so many Myfi which clogged up the signals in the room. Whether Apple streams the video or not, there will still be the same number of Myfi's in the room.

Apple provided WiFi for FREE to ANYONE at the keynote speech announcing iPhone 4 in June. It worked great until the keynote. The MiFis fucked it up.
