Too bad we weren't running it through next Tuesday... we could offer  
to host Oprah's next webcast/broadcast on Monday night for 700,000  
attendees! ;-)

Given that 100 GBps divided by 1200 attendees equals about 80 MBps  
for EACH attendee, how exactly would you suggest we suck up all that  
bandwidth?  (And there's probably under 1,000 people left, so it more  
like 100+ MBps per attendee.)

About all I can think of would be to get all 1,000 laptops remaining  
to install something like BitTorrent and make a *massive* BT file- 
sharing cloud.... but somehow I don't think we'll all do that.  Or  
perhaps we could all somehow try to become Skype supernodes...

Seriously, kudos to you and all the Comcast folks for providing such  
outstanding Internet access this week.  This has definitely been the  
best and snappiest Internet access I've experienced yet at a meeting/ 
conference/event.  You've set a high bar!

Thanks,
Dan
