Also, for those of you who think internet is that super fast. Unless your willing to pay a few hundred a month, it's no-where near that fast.
10mbps is about as fast as I know of. And that is about fast enough to 'stream' a BluRay video over 8 hours... Or to translate. Stream a 2 hour video over 8 hours. So for every 1 second of video you get, you wait 3 seconds.
Sure you can stream and download. Half that speed. So 1 second of video for 6 seconds of waiting. Still fine for streaming. Quality never mattered anyways. Content matters.
Ok seriously tho. 30mbit connections are not on the horizion for most people. Shit, I'd be happy with a 3mbit that works 99% of the time. And I would fear the kind of server that could have 10,000 open connections streaming 30mbit speeds. That would be a small service. Itunes would be more likely in the ballpark of 100,000 or more, on a friday night for the stream/download fest. That would require a internet BACKBONE connection, and a total re-design of the internet structure to allow for such bandwidths. full 1080p streaming/download video is years down the road. BluRay will have a strong foothold by that time.
