The European funds are one, but the online media compies should have some interest in this reaearch as well. Some motivation: http://www.nilsr.net/triblerians-pioneering-the-future-of-media-20080403

Brian Korsedal:

Haven't you guys ever heard of Miro TV?

Also a bit torrent site (Nova or Supernova or something like that) is going to use torrents to stream video (much different technical challenge than downloading than play)

Just a thought.

TV over the internet is great... I just wish the U.S. would catch up in the broadband race. We are something like 19th place right now. I also wish my neighbors weren't such tight asses. I hope they spring for the FiOS service.
