The problem isn't the server, it's the "last mile". In this case they needed the JJ Center wireless to get to an internet connection to get to the video server.
And since the Center is very much for a profit place, $10 per kbyte is a good rate for them to charge. So sorry FIRST that you are a non profit, we are and we make good cash from internet usage.

This is the next part of Network Neutrality, the ability to connect to the internet for a low price. I have a 4G Verizon device, it would stream one event per month, and I would hit my "unlimited cap". Some places *mariot cough cough* block my cell signal so I can't get out except at low data rate volume.
It's not a happy place, people want to be on the interwebtubes and local providers use that as a $$$ method.
The telcos / cable providers have given up some ground, but the last mile won't be given up without a fight. Because that's a lot of people that make TONS of cash on that connection.

Congrats to the teams at NYC. I know that our VEX events to talk to people from far away countries (looking at you Massachusetts) so China and the UK is huge!!

Did you cry? I did when I tossed mine , my life history as an "Uber Geek" in a trash pile. I had all of those, an my ability to run them in 1MB was great. Now 1114 robot picture is twice that size.
