So imagine a residential area all pulling digital video over wireless.
Sound familiar? Ironically close to TV! (yet so different)

Yes, so different...

Terabyte Firewire/USB2.0 hard drive for $979

If your network has to feed terabyte drives like that one,

a combination of multicast, peer-2-peer and CDNs?
Wireless offers the possibility of cheap, simple
multicast, depending on how it is configured.
