All that region restriction is easily solved by renting a box in the US and bouncing through it for Joost access ;)
Too bad that's out of reach for the average joe.

Can I get an invite please?

I'm interested to see if Joost works on a Mac over a DSL connection... between the two something's gotta go wrong. :-)

Joost definitely seems to be a step in the right direction and the future of internet tv seems promising. While I'd love to try it out, based on another of you're articles (http://www.last100.com/2007... I'm a bit apprehensive as to what my ISP will do if I start joosting away. That said, can you please spare an invitation to quench my curiosity? I'll let you know if my ISP (Time Warner Cable in San Diego, CA) flips out.

Excellent article !

I hear a lot about Joost services for a while but not being able to connect, it is always hard to figure out features...
I would like very much to test and run Joost from my WiFi Archos PMP..please send an invite.
Thx.

I'm wondering what speed connection is required to acheive acceptable viewing quality?

Oh, and can I get an invite to check it out myself?

Cheers

I have been following development of Joost for a while, my main concern have always been picture quality and contents quality. I long for the days when atleast 700KB video streaming will become very basic. An invitation will be definitely appreciated.

So what is this? Video on demand? Or is it like normal cable TV?
Do you know what's the minimum bandwidth needed to use this software properly?

Can I have an invite?

Hi, i would like an invite to Joost please.

The business model is a good question. Does it have ads on it? Will it be pay-per-view?

The main problem I see with these kind of internet TV services is that I also have to pay my ISP for the priviledge of paying for the content itself (or to watch the ads).

And all this, because ISPs do not seem to be willing to roll out well established technologies like IGMP to enable multicasting. Running IGMP proxies on their routers would reduce the bandwidth usage for ISPs drastically (as the traffic would only be duplicated when necessary, not at the source).

Perhaps we should look more to the router and networking hardware industry for the reasons why these technologies are not adapted.

Looks interesting indeed. My concerns are cost and security.

P2P technologies are notorious for distributing spam, spyware, trojan horses, keyloggers, etc. Just look at the bad track record of kaazaa, limewire, etc. I know somebody who used limewire and he got so much malware on his computer (despite all the antivirus, anti-spyware, firewalls, etc he had) the only way to fix it was to spend many hours reformatting the hard drive, reinstalling windows and installing & configuring all the different programs, minus limewire.

The joost site says it is free, but is that going to be permanent, or only during the beta phase? It says the P2P technology lowers the cost of distribution, so if it costs companies to distribute, then there must be a charge to cover that cost, no?

Over time, I hope that issues like these will be resolved and the service will gradually improve.

Send my an invitation please!
