In his podcast this weekend, Leo LaPorte mentioned a new video service he likes; it uses ~250 GB every two days.
Unfotunately, This Week In Amateur Radio, where I listen to the show, hasn't released its archive for the week yet, so I can't tell you the name of the service, and I don't remember what's so great about it, but nevertheless: that's the way the world is headed. -- Jack Hamilton Management Information & Analysis - Analytic Information Services Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. 1950 Franklin Street, Oakland, California 94612 +1 510 987-1556 (KP tieline 8-427-1556) NOTE: This email document and attachments are covered by CA Evidence Code §1157 and CA Health and Safety Code §1370.

They want that bandwidth for the more lucrative pay-per-view. > According information I came accross on another web site, a customer who goes over the limit may be charged $15 for each 10 Gigabytes that they go over the 250 GB. (This was ommitted from the original announcement.) The median Comcast user uses 2 to 3 GB, so 250 GB is extreme. Most users come nowhere close to the 250 GB usage. According to Comcast, a user could download 125 movies (about 4 a day) without going over the limit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
