Hi Frank, >>Do I care where my bits are stored? << I care about who gets to look at them, and where they are stored says a lot about who gets to look at them. What form they have is my problem (FLAC/PGP). >>I submit that most end users who elect to do DIY in-residence storage over locally designed distribution systems will encounter more dalay (latency) related problems with home storage units than those who have super-100 Mb/s high-speed access to the head end and use a virtual partition of a managed storage entity.<< What home does not have CDs, DVDs, photos, magazines, books, etc. (in-residence storage over locally designed distribution systems)? >>But there is nothing preventing users from using both. And in fact most will, although the forms of remote storage used may not always be defined by the same terms. It has mostly to do with separations of content rights and the rights associated with the storage media used, leading to distinctions similar or identical in many ways to the separation of content and plumbing on the subscriber's access line.<< I would insist that any 'remote managed storage entity' be designed to not know the content of what is stored (no DRM). The only distinctions permissible should have to do with retrieval options. petere
