yes - I have access to some very nice video streams at 2mbps (DVD quality).
They use 720 MBytes per hour. I can watch them on my Jetstream link but
only for a few minute$.

When I encode video I run at 13GBytes per hour. Then process it and want to
shift it to my servers in town. On a non-day I carry a 20GB disk in my van.
On an average day its 60GB, on busy days its a 300GB disk. Earlier in the
year we did the processing for 26 x 1/2 hr TV shows. The disks were busy. A
2 day conference recorded is 250 to 300GB.

We recently downloaded 6GB of video from Aust for processing.......nothing
unusual......

Lack of broadband certainly *does* hold business back. I'd really prefer to
have the processing machines just writing to the disks in town.
