Re: Pipe Dream If broadband companies are going to offer these types of speeds, they have to get over the capping and download limits.
On a 40mbps line, with streamin TV shows, people could go over the limit very fast. |

| Actually 40 Mbps goes a long way. With MPEG4 an HDTV channel will take up 7 to 8 Mbps. So with 40 Mbps you can watch three HDTV channels and still have considerable data bandwidth. |
|
| MPEG2 SD streams are at 3.5Mbps to 4.5 Mbps, HD is at roughly 19Mbps. MPEG4\AVC\WM9 promises to half that, so you're looking at about 10Mbps per HD stream. 3 TV's in the home plus a data pipe = 32Mbps.
When that happens, life will be good.

Cheyenne, WY | Joe, I was referring to the Caps that ISP's put on there accounts mostly.
Even if they do give you a full 40mbps, a cap would totally ruin it. Since the bandwith is so high, and if you watched streaming TV shows, you would hit your cap very fast. |

We have it running in our lab at 7 Mbps. |
|
|
|
| MPEG4 HD at 7Mbps using which Codec?
Jeff |
|
| AVC |
|
| Very interesting... all PC based? or any other devices decoding the content?
Jeff |
|
| Special lab hardware but no reason it can't be productized for PC's, settop boxes, etc. |
|
| I've seen AVC demos, but nothing "real" yet. I hope to see some progress with AVC at Supercomm 2003.
