Sirius started after XM because its more complex technology was not
ready.

LOL!

"The internet is not ready for what I want to do." -- Howard Stern.

did he really say that ? what a dumb fucking tool.


And 10 years later he invents the Stinky Cam. Hoo hoo.


I want to know what he wanted to do that the internet wasn't ready for
(even 10 years ago) I cant think of anything that was out of reach for
his show a decade ago.

Um, stream live content, simple message bases, and image achieves. Most
people were still on dial up, streaming technology blew, and a t1 could cost
you well over $850 a month. A pipe and supporting equipment back then big
enough to support the amounts of traffic the show could generate was
expensive and unreliable.

10 years ago howard would mention a site and it would go effectively do down
due to the ammount of traffic. Rotten.com pays tribute to this every year.

We are talking about the days of 233mhz machines and 3gig drives. Of
MONSTER sized csu/dsu's, and 48 pairs of copper to support a t1! The only TV
show being traded on the internet at the time was Southpark, in 15 meg low
quality RAM files. You are not streaming to the masses with that kinda tech.

The tech to support high volome streaming becomes available around 2001ish,
but is still expensive.

Try pricing out a 200gig optiman from sbc...
