BBC going to stop the Internet working?

Do you think it is true that the internet will be in trouble when BBC1 is
watchable live on the internet later this month?

No. The ISPs will just throttle the stream if it is having any negative
impact on their system or customer base who don't want to watch TV over
the Net. In addition, when customers reach their monthly download limit
after watching a couple of hour of Internet TV their accounts will be
suspended.

Yes. This should have been launched using Multicast packets, over an
upgraded ipv6 infrastructure of compatible routers ISP and client side.

With the global financial situation and stresses on increasing bandwidth
promised to customers I forsee some ISP's going to the wall, or being
swallowed up by the next Tiscali bottom feeding wannabee.

Got a great idea. Someone should launch an ISP with a network that
supports just web page use. No streaming, no P2P or other high bandwidth
use. Block all packets except those to a secure web browser. Just a
reliable service 512Mbits and dirt cheap.

It would be a change for the pensioners I support who are resolutely
still on dialup.

In spite of the BF, I totally agree that it should have been done via
Multicast. I use Multicast at home as I am experimenting with Multicast
TV over my home network. I am running 21 channels at the moment without
problems. You should use an IGMP sware switch though. The net result
is far less bandwith is consumed based on a lot of subscibers, and you
can turn up the picture quality too because of the reduced BW footprint.

Broadband4Grannies? Been trying to find an ISP that'll offer something like
this, and not even the ones that people I know work for will consider it.
Presumably this is because there's no margin in it.

Great until someone figures out how to tunnel video over HTTP.

Cap it at 1GB/month. Don't sell it to anyone without a bus-pass.

It's called a VPN or even SSH.
