That's not going to work in the long run. Just my podcasts are
about 10 GB a month. You only have to wait until there's more HD
video available online and it gets easier to get at for most people
to see bandwidth use per customer skyrocket.
To me, it is ironic that some of the same service providers who
refused to consider enabling native multicast for video are now
complaining of the consequences of video going by unicast. They can't
say they weren't warned.
There are much worse things than having customers that like using
your service as much as they can.
Indeed.
