Eventual audience is probable audience?

[Ahmet Faruk Cecen]

Hi everyone

I am not just just stuck audience issue I cant get the logic of structure with bold


Other categories of Internet datacast, such as a simple broadcast email, webcasting or bulletin board posting, are asynchronous as they are mediated by the storage of media which are retrieved at indeterminate and undirected times by the eventual audience. Nor do social expectations about Internet datacasting conform to any kind of appointed
regulation, unlike broadcast events.

No. The probable audience consists of those who somebody (probably the poster) expects to attend, while the eventual audience consists of those who really do attend.

Should we paraphrase it as ultimate audience or decisive audience

No, it is the people who eventually read/view/etc whatever "datacast" it is talking about. Like this post I am making now. There is an audience of people who will read my words here. At some time. Might be 2 minutes from now, might be next year.

They are all my "eventual" audience. Eventually, they will see this.
