Eccomerceman: I realized after I posted it, my last line about comparing the 19mb transfer rate of wireless compared to the 1.5mb rate for VHS quality video was misplaced, as it implies that the downloading video stream is viewable as it is being streamed. I assume that for now, at least, the downloaded product would only be viewable once it is loaded onto the computer, and unlocked per the decryption function of the WAVE chip; and that the transfer rate (which determines smoothness of play) is dependent on the speed of the individual user's harddrive. Techie questions: Would future iterations of the technology allow for viewing on the fly? Does IP multicasting require caching of the data before it can be displayed? I believe that current satellite delivery of digital content requires caching... And like you I've been averaging up consistently on my share price since $3.00. Highest price I've paid is right where we closed yesterday. Meaning if I had more $ I'd be still buying...
