streaming bandwidth requirements

With 500Kb of data running all day in average. Here are the costs:

500Kbit/second * 60 sec/minute * 60 min/hour * 24hrs * 30 days = 1296Gbit a month

Many providers ask for high prices for exceeding Bandwidth, so beware.

Average 1 min recording with a high streaming quality amounts to about 4MB. So 1GB of web space lasts for about 250 minutes of recording. But lots can be done about the streaming amount, the challenge lying within not loosing to much noticeable video quality.
