As you would expect, they only get the real experts to speak:
"While Bergman was confident ABCNews.com's plans to stream the video in its entirety would go fine, Martin Hall of the IP Multicast Initiative says the real problems would occur at the user's end of the line.

The number of dialups on a T1, the number of bytes in a framed ATM cell. I see a telco conspiracy here. (:-) for the humor impaied) jerry
