Broadcast.com is talking like the bandwidth threshold necessary for widespread use of digital video over the Internet is very close. From Broadcast.com's perspective, it doesn't matter whether that broadband market opens as a function of improving compression, rapid penetration of DSL and cable modems, or a combination of both, so long as the quality of its content feeds moves quickly to the VHS threshold and beyond, Wagner noted. Already, he said, codecs (encoder/decoders) are delivering VHS-level streaming over 300-kbps pipes. "I've seen compression technology in operation that supports streaming at 30 frames per second at full-screen resolution over 100-kbps links," he added. "That tells me my company will be able to reach an ever larger market with high-quality audio/video content, no matter what the ultimate local-access speeds are."
