Delray Beach, FL | Is this the Holy Grail? If so, it sounds like I won't have to upgrade my dial-up. Compacting data like this could result in the development of the "killer app". Problem is, it could kill the need for broadband.

Frisco, TX | How many generalities can this article include. Granted, I would *love* to have this be true. But, allow me to be at least a little skeptical until I see proof.
Yes, I am a doubting Thomas, but this definitely will have to be seen before I believe. This isn't the first such "breakthrough" in compression technology.

| I agree, this is way to hopeful. Article says if it can be proven to work, which is the key here that the program itself hasnt been even developed yet and that all the work has probably been on paper. Not much prove there, so what if it theoritically works on paper. When I see proof then its just another scam. But hopefully it is actually true. |

Will help broadband This will HELP broadband. This will help with things like Video On Demand. No one really does this right now. It takes about 1.5 to 2 Mbits to do MPEG2 quality. Now imagine if you had the compression to deliver DVD quality on 1.5 Mbits or less. That would help it broadband even more. You would have telcos competing with you local cable company. Remember, advances helps more times than not. For example, since there is faster PC hardware, then no reason why to write good code....WRONG...still write good code, but write more intensive and better code to do more things. That's what we've seen.
I do NOT doubt what they have done. Microsoft has developed a compression algorithm as well that's suppose to be great and compress DVD quality even further. You really think the XBox is going to be just a gaming console? Heck no....you will see it doing Video On Demand.
Only good things can come of these things.
