I agree with Jangita SKY HD only requires 2Mbps .. but I also think we need to develop enough local content, I think the highest traffic for Kenyan users is international and more so download and very few uploads ... stand corrected ... On 03/09/2010, techi <myskunkworks@gmail.com> wrote:

HD video or audio does not necessarily result to the predicted bandwidth. There are compression mechanism that make transmission of the signal cost effective. For instance, a Telepresence session would requires 2-3Mbps bandwidth per screen:

A friend of mine from Germany, a remote small town 30K residents has this 100Mbps link on coax cable, its a triple play, it this what we should expect from Zuku? and now I hear Safcom is testing LTE which promises almost the same ... would we be right to say that in the near future we will have these crazy speeds? question is are we ready as a Kenyan market for such speeds? My parents back in the village do not have even a dial up, why varied reasons ... this friend of mine is almost the same age with my dad yet he is over excited by the speeds .. what will have to change in our setting to 'entice' the masses with data ... I know for the Young urban its the thing to be on FB shall we say Thats it for Data ... I still think we are still a 'Voice' only country ...

- Internet TV (imagine 1080p on 4:3) 1080 x 1443 pixels x 25 frames per second = 38,961,000 bytes per second = 30Mbps tuseme 32bit color depth = 960Mbps - already more than 100MBps Gone !just for good quality TV via internet - ooh i havent put the sound in which would be probably
- Internet Telephone - 8,000 Hz 8bit sound?
- Internet Radio - Tuseme CD quality 44,100Hz at 16 bit (2 bytes x 44,100)= 705,600 bytes per second ooh at 5:1 that's 6 channels = 42Mbps mp3 would do about 1/10 of that but not quite streamble..
Figures would be a little lower because of compression but ... 100Mbps can be used; as fast as a kawaida LAN but you'd not get 100Mbps it would depend on the source and all the points in between.
