or watch it online (real & win media), or read the transcript ....

50,000 concurrent 256Kbps video streams of the Olympics.

(and i think some clued up isp's *might* be trialing multicast, but 
it'll probably not reach you and me in time for Sept)

and did you know that http://www.archive.org/ is now recording something 
like 12 tv stations, inc. News 24, 24x7, at near broadcast quality.  It 
isn't available online, thanks to copyright reasons, but they are 
recording it, so at least copies are available for historical 
reference/education reasons.

And they are replicating their entire archive in 2 US locations, and 
building a third in amsterdam, and might (hazy memory) have another in 
Egypt.

The guy who runs it (Brewster?) gave a couple of brilliant talks 
recently, inc. at notcon.  My favourite quote (said to anyone with a 
media collection (like the bbc) who would be willing and able to make it 
available online)...

"What would you say if I offered you unlimited disk space, unlimited 
bandwidth, free, forever?"

And he meant it, which made it all the more impressive.  For an 
organisation that is run from donations.
