Mark,

Much of the 50gb could be video or potential video action. Someone on the SI Communications segment stated we may need 40 mb/sec to deliver HDTV (High Definition Television). If a movie lasts 5000 seconds, we will need 300 gb to store it. Although compression techniques will reduce those numbers, we may need tons of storage in the future. Of course this will only happen if the cost of storage continues to decline. <g>
