Re: Too much capacity...blah, blah... Thread- Funny how the usual "too much capacity" pundits have been laying low the last few months(click back through 'who wrote' for a few past details).

This application of Internet technology has the potential to revolutionize movie creation and distribution as well as unleash new opportunities for movie studios and exhibitors worldwide. TITAN A.E. was transmitted from Qwest Communications International Inc.'s CyberCenter in Los Angeles to a theater in Atlanta over a highly secure Cisco New World IPSec Virtual Private Network (VPN). The transmission took approximately two hours, and used Internet technology from Cisco including Cisco 12000 Series Internet routers running over a high-speed fiber backbone and Cisco 7140 VPN and security routers with integrated firewall and hardware Triple DES encryption....
