I agree. The problem is not the bandwidth from my headend, it is the last mile which is killing the deal for me. This whole streaming video over the Internet thing is absolutely insane! With a bird (satellite) I can deliver content to 280 million people with just 6 gigs worth of data transfer. If I do the same across the Internet it will take 1.5279510989 zettabytes!!!! Talk about total inefficiency! -------Original Message------- From: Darin Steffl Date: 6/5/2012 9:22:49 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Netflix to offer free caches to ISPs They require at least 2Gbps of Netflix traffic across your network at all time and require you connect the box to a 10Gbps port to our network. I really doubt there are many WISP's out there running this much Netflix traffic at one time. A few but nowhere near the majority. Also, for many of us, this probably isn't the problem of running out of internet transit but rather having AP's at capacity for which this would not solve at all.

They're going to be offering free peering at a few IXPs, and are offering free cache appliances for ISPs with large amounts of traffic. http://blog.streamingmedia com/the_business_of_online_vi/2012/06/netflix-announces-new-content-delivery- etwork-offering-free-caches-to-isps.html More information from Netflix itself is here: https://signup.netflix.com/openconnect Does anyone here plan to pursue this? How much would something like this actually resolve your Netflix issues, or is the bottleneck inside your network rather than at the access link? _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -- Darin Steffl _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
