Eccommerceman. Re: delivery of videos over the net. The article you mentioned re: the bandwidth limitations of the wire based net curiously ignores wireless delivery. From todays's Newsday article re: HAUP & WAVE: "Hauppauge, which last year reported net income of $1.9 million on sales of $38.7 million, is banking on the growth of High Definition TV broadcasts to popularize its DTV receivers in personal computers. In addition to sharper TV signals, DTV also will allow the largest "pipeline" for information into homes and businesses: 19 million bits per second compared with cable modems' 5 million bits per second." None of the "partyline" or other limitations of cable, copper, or even fiber (which still encounters a bottleneck transitting that last 100' or whatever to the home) would apply to wireless delivery of WAVE enabled/metered digital content. Which doesn't even require that your computer be turned on to receive it! Given that VHS quality video only demands 1.5 mb/second, 19mb should be more than plenty. Maybe Negroponte et al should consider a new rag called "Unwired".
