It is going to be a set top box, the signal comes down the pipe through a cable connection. The cable companies are the one who will need the satellite.

Todd, Think of your network connection into and aggregator like Broadcast.com as being two parts: 1) your 56k connection to the ISP and 2) the ISP's Internet backbone connection to BCST. What PICK addresses for now is the second leg. The Victoria Secret show was such a debacle, not because a user was bottlenecked to the ISP, but because the ISP's had to dedicate one connection per user (1000s of them) from the ISP to BCST, thus the network congestion problem on the backbone. PICKs technology distributes the streaming media from the aggregator (PICK is an aggregator as well) to partner ISP's over satellite. Thus only one stream needs to be sent from the aggregator to the ISP for all end users connected to the ISP (this is called multicasting). This results in a huge reduction in backbone congestion, and more importantly, backbone cost to the ISP. Doug (long PICK)
