The data rate of the BBC RealAudio streams is typically around 40kbps except for Worldservice which is about 16kbps.
I think the BBC still wants to support Narrowband (dialup) users and also they have a very large number of users so providing high speed worldwide would require significant bandwidth and I think is not considered to be the best way to spend the licence money. Perhaps this is why the new WMA based UK only services may have higher rates. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28626 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
