[Matra et Alpine]

Not convinced that journo listened to the prresentation.
He is stuck on the idea of VIDEO and not video COMPRESSION, there is a difference.
Just because I want to display 720p/60fps doens' mean I have to DELIVER 720p/60fps full frames !
He also ignored that they talked about custom hardware for video and IP. So his nonsense about how long YouTube takes is irrelevant and shows NO understanding of the balance between real time and post-processing priorities.
His "economics" on ISPs is also not forward looking. As they said, this coudl be the driver for serious gamers to move UP the IP bandwidth ladder .. if not already there as indicated. And they also indicated they're workign their pricing model. Easy way to simplify it woudl be a monthly payment ( like WoW ) and they coudl give a portion to the ISP. An easy revenue stream for the ISP

You know that in the early days of GSM everyone scoffed the proposals that one day it would deliver live video ? AND for all the same reasons, technology, costs, bandwidth, reliability, delay, quality.
They aren't saying this will work on a 28.8Kb dial-up link.

I think it will have difficulties, but it is possible and MAY be a revolutionary change.
