TV shows could take even less time to download because the files are much smaller. I wonder what bit rate they are dreaming of? Or what compression scheme they have up their sleeve?

(better than 10Mbit/sec connection) 100Mbit/sec service isn't to far away... really. In Japan, it is typically the norm in many places. The US is 16th on the Broadband leaders list. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.
