The real limitation for Mbone has been availability of Bandwidth - the
current access speeds of 56Kbps do little to encourage the development of
Multimedia Broadcasts on the Net using Mbone Tools. Applications will
rapidly emerge if the limitation is removed. Two technologies offer this
promise now - Satellite Broadcasts using the DVB/MPEGII transport overlay
and the Cable Modems.

I have been demonstration the ICAST software in London and without exception
everyone agreed that the quality of sound and vision is acceptable.

When we break the bandwidth Barrier - the applications will blossom - think
of Spring!
