Speaking from a provider's view, this is what we saw/heard during the event.
Total concurrent streams (across the board not just us): 781,000 Traffic wise, we peaked at close to 45G over our daily average across all locations during the MJ event. This was all live streaming traffic for one of the well known sites.

Seems strange to charge for something you'd give out free over the Internet. Jack The contents of this email message and any attachments are confidential and are intended solely for the addressee.
