If I remember correctly reading back a year or so ago, Dr Bot I think it was, said that the problem with web-casting more regionals is the man power (having someone to have time to get it all setup), and the connection at the location and the available equipment. If one were to have a stable connection at a regional that would solve much of the latency. Being that NASA uses their satellites for much of the sending, you have to take into account that satellite signals can be temper-mental with clouds and other anomalies. I am sure that NASA's servers and connection are more than enough for firsters to watch the videos, the problem is usually the connection at the regional when things start to get skippy and slow. As a owner of my personal webserver, which wouldn't have a problem with 200 people accessing, it wouldn't be that hard to stream video as I have no limits on transfer rate, just my upload speed, which I am working on getting upped to a couple mbps. If we cant get more regionals webcasted atleast it would be a good idea to get them digitalized and hosted at a central location, such as SOAP or myself, as I have nearly all the files SOAP has.

This year when/if video gets digitalized at any regional if anyone doing it could please contact me I would like to host the video for all to see and download.
