From: francis@zaphod.uchicago.edu: Bandwidth is a measure of how much information is being sent. The net has limited resources, of course; this is often stated as limited bandwidth (limited K/day, or something). Another interpretation is that most site-to-site links apparently cost money to run, like a phone line. (Don't really understand this myself, since [I think] most of the Internet is based on leased phone lines, which shouldn't [reasonably] be charged by volume. But, then, there are lots of people on Usenet that aren't connected by Internet.) -- | The University of Chicago Velo Club | Beep Beep Dude | WFNX 101.7 Boston | | I KNOW it's Einstuerzende Neubauten.| Beavers = Gods | FrontLine Assembly | | Jesus Saves, Moses Invests, but only Buddha Pays Dividends. | | Jesus saves sinners and redeems them for fabulous prizes! |
