The connection speeds are likely to be slower than the typical cable-modem setup (which clocks in at 1 mbps or faster), but they are comparable to most DSL services, which tend to run at about 500 kbps (10 times as fast as dial-up).

LG'S VX8000 will support VCAST at launch, and three more phones, from Samsung, UTStarcom and Motorola, are expected. For $15 a month on top of a standard calling plan, customers can download an unlimited stream of files to the phones or pay extra for premium content. Highlights will...
...requirements for access would include a Harvard ID number to log into HOLLIS and an application such as Windows Media Player to receive the streaming audio. According to the Naxos website, Harvard’s broadband connection of 128 Kbps would produce “CD quality sound...
