I only know Blip because of this group and only for a couple of weeks and, still, I want to see them succeed. Why? They're friendly and concientious. They're offering a good service. They're ahead of the curve. They're not Time Warner. Go Blip. Go see my videos on Blip at:
http://www.blip.tv/posts/?search=captain+humphreys We've got 24 videos (shameless plug) and they're all available on Blip! But I still have bandwidth issues on my own site and I am merely inquiring if pooling the bandwidth spend of multiple users won't get us a better deal all around? If the ~2,000 on this group formed a cooperative, that cooperative could go to Blip and say, "Hey, add our $10,000 a month to your bandwidth buy and let's get more bandwidth for all of us." If that would help Blip, great. If it'll help me, great. If I never need the extra bandwidth because I don't attract taht much attention, my spend is the same. I'm just creating a pool of bandwidth for use by the cooperative members. -David --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Stan Hirson, Sarah Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I agree with Verdi on this. > > I feel very loyal to Blip.
