Scoble does the math of the bandwidth cost of RSS. My experience has been similar to Microsoft's. In the last few months I've been paying steadily increasing bandwidth surcharges due to exploding use of my RSS feed. HTML access is also increasing at substantial rates. [Scripting News]

DVR Makers Bow to Hollywood.
  • Mercury News: TiVo, ReplayTV agree to limits. The makers of TiVo and ReplayTV digital video recorders have agreed to limit how long consumers can keep pay-for-view movies stored on future versions of the VCR-like devices. The new technology also will allow Hollywood movie studios and broadcasters to regulate how often movies purchased through pay-for-view services can be watched. Digital video recorders that recognize these new copy restrictions will begin appearing in the spring of 2005. But it could be years before entertainment companies begin to take advantage of the technology, according to ReplayTV President Bernie Sepaniak.
    • Oh, it's just the pay-per-view movies, they're claiming -- no harm there, right?

    How soon will this include other kinds of video? Won't HBO and Showtime make similar demands, too? Of course they will. Then will come ABC, CBS and NBC and the other networks.

    The pay-per-view world approaches more quickly than you think -- if the entertainment cartel gets its way.

    I'll be pointing out some options to this regime. Stay tuned. [Dan Gillmor's eJournal]
