I'm not sure that translates to full support for any random twitter user to be doing 'live' broadcasts. It may not be a huge impact on the infrastructure, but when cost-cutting comes up again, unless they're monetizing it somehow, I'd expect "random joe live-video broadcasting" to be on the chopping block.

MLB? NFL? NBA? I'm sure money's being exchanged to make it worthwhile to handle that.

Agreed. I wasn't including professional broadcasts in my comments about Periscope. There will always be a market for live pro sports, newscasts, etc.
