There is decentralized video live streaming but the problem is that everyone is getting the stream at different times and the offset becomes too high, the later a person joins.
Does not matter.
Doubtfull if I would even mind if one far away leaflet on the distribution tree will watch with 60 seconds latency.

This might be usefull tech for web radio stations.

Also it impacts quality.

is there ?
the bandwidth and server resources to live stream to thousands of people is very big
what if it could be decentralized to share bandwidth usage among many nodes ?
I think the Zennet Team will focus on building a decentralized streaming service as soon as their protocol has been finished.

As far as I know no such thing yet. It's a good idea, but if you want bandwidth sharing you'll have to implement QoS and some of the more advanced routing protocols. Maybe a torrent like thing would be easier as in that case you have to store only links to the content and the streaming would be an independent dataflow.
