Anyone else out there still interested, or does everyone have enough national bandwidth these days that they don't see it as an issue?
Very funny. I think it's not a big problem right now cause there isn't much content and most users are limited to 128kb/s . On the other hand if affordable DSL (jetstream not jetstart prices) was available at say 256-512 kb/s and (say) NZ Onair decided to do a little NZ Music channel (hint hint) things could get tight quickly. Realisticly expecting more than 1000 people to access something like with the current NZ backbone would be very scary. Even a 64kb/s audio-only stream going be a little ugly, no reason why that many people in the South Island might not want to listen to an Auckland radio station. Is there any popular and legal content out there? -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz Ihug Ltd, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz
