 digiblurGot Sipura?Premium join:2002-06-03 Louisiana | Yeah right.... I will believe it when I see it. 100 HD networks are not going to launch this year, let alone 50 HD networks. 100 HD networks is a lot of backhaul bandwidth to find too. -- FWD#64466(6PM-11PM GMT-5) »[Sipura] Make your Sipura Speak! - GetSipura Guide And now for the PAP2-NA and unlocked PAP2's. |

They'll have plenty of capacity and bandwidth to push 100+ channels, plus Internet traffic. Also, they tapped the gear vendors to help with build-out and some design. |

If their birds don't have the capacity to offer "100s" of full resolution HD channels, what good are 10gig equipment. Providing broadband service via the sats is the same thing. If they don't have enough transponders and utilizing the latest in sat technology, all of what you said doesn't matter. |
