Hi all!
One issue that hasn't been raised on this topic is the bandwidth throttling 
that the ISPs are currently experimenting with. Even if "everything" will 
become available to be streamed (something that we all know is conceptually 
silly), something tells me that the ISPs will step in and demand a big slice of 
revenue to allow anything like this to pass through their pipes--even for 
institutional use--making this vendor's viewpoint both ignorant *and* naïve.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
