Re: [EFM] Video distribution
I guess it's critical for us to understand the which types of video
services the service providers intend to provide. If they are similar
to cable TV including true VOD, that implies one set of transmission
requirements which tend to be bandwidth-intensive but
latency-insensitive. High-quality videoconferecing is less
bandwidth-intensive but more sensitive to latency. Kent, can you
comment?
