"If they charge an arm and a leg per VoD session..."

ftth- Well speak of the devil, here is your answer. $3.95 for new releases. $1.95 for classics. And $7.95 for adult programming. You see I went to check to see the details of what TimeWarner is labeling, "Business Roadrunner," and inadvertantly found that they may be offering VOD to my area shortly:

"iCONTROL, video on demand, puts you in total control of your entertainment experience!"

On our channel one there used to be a guide on how to use the digital video remote control and on-screen program guide. Well I just discovered minutes ago it's now replaced with an introductory screen for VOD services. I'm guessing it may mean that it will be offered to me shortly(as it says on the screen<g>). If so, I'll be the first to generate revenues for TimeWarner and report back to the thread on how it works.

"....and only have a very limited number of movies, they could probably oversubscribe..."

ftth- How come how many movies that are available to click on would play a factor in determining a congestion limit? Or are you simply referring to the hard disk storage space limitations that may be on the server in the headend? The number of movies available have nothing to do with network bandwidth limitations, right? Thanks. -MikeM(From Florida)
