Time to get that part 121 operation going, buddy!

Alexis Park Airways.. come on, it's got a nice ring to it...

Oooooo....I like that!

Good grief, Jav, you're not gonna like the bandwidth it's gonna take to
do our on-line ticketing...

;-)


I'm sure the bandwidth will be less than that used by the videos section.
Hell, American Airlines probably doesn't use the bandwidth that video page
does.

Why not an air-taxi service? Isn't that why God created the VLJs?

Looking at Google Earth, the Cedar Rapids airport doesn't seem to be TOO
far away.

True, they could get out of there -- but no scheduled airline lands
near where they live, either.

The sustained average of the video page is about 12-15 megabits/sec,
with peaks in the mid to high 30's in the middle of the day and an
occasional trip into the mid 40's.

And this just for airplane stuff. I guess this Internet thing is
catching on.

For those of us who have no idea what that means, can you translate,
please?

Is that:

A) A lot
B) Sort of a lot?
C) An unbelievable amount?

It's "fair to middlin'". In the US, broadband service is generally running
between 1Mb/s and 10Mb/s, with most service in the 3-6Mb/s range (in our
region, we are just now starting to see 15Mb/s service, but that's still
rare). Worldwide, my understanding is that the US is on the slow side
compared to other countries where broadband is common.

So, at a sustained average of 15Mb/s, you're looking at effectively always
having a few users downloading at any given moment. Three to five,
depending on where you put the national average for broadband service speed.

Compared to any major Internet web site, that's pretty low. For example,
places like Google Video and YouTube are hosting thousands of users at any
given moment in time, if not tens of thousands or more. But on the
Internet, once you get past that first tier of service, user load drops off
pretty quickly. Outside that first tier of service, your "average of a few
users at any given moment" is relatively high. Many lowest-tier web sites
can go long periods (minutes, maybe even hours off-peak) without any traffic
at all.

Just as a rough guess, I wouldn't put your web site in the second tier of
online service, but you could be in the third, and almost certainly the
fourth, depending on where exactly one makes the cut-off (obviously this
sort of ranking is somewhat arbitrary).

In other words, you're definitely not an MSNBC, NYTimes, YouTube, Flickr, or
Google (first-tier). You're probably not a Boing Boing, a Slashdot, or a
Digg (second-tier). But you may have the about the most traffic of any
non-porn web site that most people have never heard of.
