Jim - Re: WavePhore The VBI data transmission rate upper limit, according to WavePhore, appears to be about 500,000 bits/second. Although this appears to be fast compared to dial up modem speeds, it isn't fast compared to alternative techniques currently being developed and tested. For example, the ADSL/xDSL technologies appear to range from 500,000 bps up to 2,000,000 bps. Also, I am assuming that Wavephore is going for "Broadcast" mode data transmission. Everybody tuned in receives the same data at the same time. This is NOT random access. The VBI mode is also RECEIVE only. No provision for uploading - it is a downloading technology only. Another Internet connection will be required to communicate (upload) to the net. As such, I wouldn't predict any major commercial success with this except for "event-type" programming. That is, I doubt it will be a mainstream Internet connnection technology. Paul
