Streaming video

Remember when YouTube floated plans to put storage into the telecoms street cabinets to provide a local cache to YouTube?

That was back when the overwhelming majority of us were on dial up. I certainly was. Maybe 1998? Not sure what good it would have done since the choke point was the last mile then too.

Back when RealPlayer was about as good as it got. And people tried to use it as a videophone.

Changed days for internet streaming...
