It's definately not frmalised - think about the next step up - Mega which
is prefixed by a capital M, while the lower case m represents the prefix
'mili'

Yes, and could also be written :
kbs (exponent: minus one)

About kbps kbit/s and more :
ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/pub/doc/ISO/information-units
Perhaps we can now end this discussion and accept kbps AND kbit/s
as understandable units for '10^3bit per second' and go on to other
more LAME-related questions ...

May we consider that 'p' stands for 'per' ?
So kbps would mean : Kilo [10^3] * bit per second
So it would be exactly the same as kbit/s Kilo [10^3] bit per second.

You're joking, right ?
kilo is 'k' ,

ITYM all multipliers except k - kHz, km, etc.

K is used for both multiples of 1000 and 1024. 1024 i

It seems to be quite common to use the prefix "K" to refer to multiples of
1024, and "k" for mutliples of 1000, but I don't kn

mark told me it was so they could say they could say they took the same
amount of space (128kbps) even though they squeezed more data in there.

networks are measured with k = 1000.
storage is measured with k = 1024.
this is how it has traditionally been.

Most communications stuff uses standard SI prefixes.

In mp3 audio it's 1000 bits per second, in Microsoft's media formats it's 1024
bits per second
