Subject: how many gigs of bandwidth are consumed by the average TV  
viewer.

Posing a question ---

Using the stats below ---How many gigs (using current technology and
compression) is the average month's viewing if all cable viewing were  
being
calculated as bandwidth? (I.e., how much bandwidth does high def use  
times 1
month of viewing. -- 143 hrs.

Are there any noticeable differences in the different compression  
schemes?
FiOS vs Comcast? --or future changes that would influence the numbers.

Finland's Ministry of Transport and Communications announced today  
that from
July 2010, every person in the country will have a legal right to at  
least
1Mb of broadband connection. Finland is the first country to guarantee
broadband access and has already initiated plans to increase the 1MB  
minimum
to 100Mb by 2015.
