According to their blog, "The software downloads about 320MB per hour (as a maximum) and uploads up to 105 MB per hour." We all should know by now that the P2P model is flawed and in reality how many of you out there will actually be able to meet their requirements? I tried and I know I can't actually get those numbers with my 3Mb Charter connection. The problem with “Joost” is the users bandwidth requirements.

that’s an interesting twist as most say web video needs to be short and nothing like TV.

personally, the web is simply a more efficient way to “broadcast”. no unsightly antenna, no dma, no confusing dial positions as there will be countless channel2’s, 4’s and 7’s.

the trick these fellows will need to pull off is to make it as simple as the tv. settle back in that ass groove you’ve got worn in the couch and relax.
