Frankly, I don't think we'll ever see an Apple-streamed event. They haven't
provided streaming for at least 3 years now, but their message gets out to
the people just fine. They have little motivation to offer a live feed.
Think about the fact that they didn't even offer a live broadcast of the
iPad launch event. And Steve Jobs considered that one of the biggest
moments in his career and the history of Apple. So, if that occasion
doesn't get the live treatment, why would anything else?
Plus, at this point, live streaming from an Apple keynote would result in
some of the highest internet traffic the world has ever seen (due to the
rising popularity of the brand and the desire to see what iOS 5 will bring).
I don't think Apple wants to take that on (or pay the bill for it). And
they don't need to, because the word will get out there anyway, because all
the media outlets will be reporting every detail as it is. So what if it
takes 24 hours for the information to be full disseminated and absorbed by
the public. The goal is still achieved and without a dime out of apple's
pocket. (Well, they do have the event hosting / venue cost, obviously, but
that's something they'd have to pay for no matter what.)
Lastly, consider that this is WWDC, a gathering aimed at techies -- meaning
some of what's presented is not of interest to laymen.
