It's not clear if this glass is mostly empty or half full, but there is a data point FWIW. 1) Just unicasting it over the radio access network is going to use a lot of capacity, and latency will make streaming good quality tough. I have heard that several big mobile providers are shortly going to come out with 802.16 networks in support (I assume) of point 3. Regards Marshall
