MULTIMEDIA COST AND BT's 21st CENTURY NETWORK PROJECT.

MULTIMEDIA COST AND BT's 21st CENTURY NETWORK PROJECT.

MULTIMEDIA COST FROM FREESAT IS SET TO BECOME A ROASTING HOT POTATO AND NOT BECAUSE OF MULTIMEDIA COOKING PROGRAMMES BUT FOR OTHER MORE OBVIOUS PICTURES.
KANGAROO/iPOWER IS A PROJECT THAT MEETS EVERYBODY'S IDEA OF PERFECT TV POSSIBILITY'S.
WE TOOK ANOTHER LOOK AT THE UNSEEN COST BUT IT MUST COME TO THE FOREFRONT AS BT's 21st CENTURY NETWORK PROJECT APPROACHES COMPLETION IN AND AROUND 2012.
LOOK AT THE FIGURES, FOR EXAMPLE BT's BASIC PACKAGE AND THEIR FAIR AND ACCEPTABLE USAGE POLICY (FUP) WHICH IS 5GB AND ANYTHING AFTER THIS GETS THROTTLED.
ANYONE USING THE BT INTERNET TO DOWNLOAD AND VIEW HIGH DEFINITION (HD) MAY WELL BE SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT THEIR FUP WILL TRIGGER AFTER 15 MINUTES OF USE.
WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THE BBC RESEARCH AND INNOVATION TEAM HAVE DEVISED A NEW COMPRESSION METHOD WHICH HOPEFULLY ADRESS'S THIS MASSIVE ISP HEADACHE. WE WATCH WITH GREAT INTEREST AS THIS MEDIA PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO BE ADOPTED IN COUNTRIES LIKE THE U.S.A.
ALTHOUGH IMPOSSIBLE BUT TO GIVE ISP USERS AN IDEA OF THE ASTRONOMICAL BANDWIDTH NEEDED TO WATCH AN AVERAGE MONTHS VIEWING IN HIGH DEFINITION (HD), THE AVERAGE TV USER WATCHES FOR APPROX. 5 HOURS A DAY AND IF THAT USER WAS CONTINUALLY WATCHING HD ON THE INTERNET THE BANDWIDTH NEED FOR 1 MONTHS VIEWING WOULD BE APPROX. 3900 GB. WHICH IS EQUIVALANT TO 780 BASIC BT USER PACKAGES USING 5 GB PER MONTH.
FREESAT PUSH-VIDEO HERE WE COME!
