    What is 1MB of data? 1MB* on average is: Browsing - using the internet on your O2 mobile O2 Active 40 pages approx Mobile internet sites outside of O2 (typically 3rd party websites not controlled by O2): 2-10 full web pages (depending on graphics, images, amount of text) 10-20 mobile web pages Sending and receiving E-mail from your O2 mobile 200 emails without attachment 10 emails with simple one page attachment Satellite Navigation 15 hours of Satellite navigation traffic alert service. Please note: Using GPS Sat Nav without the traffic alert service does not incur data charges. Important information The following services when provided by a 3rd party may consume large amounts of data and maybe subject to separate charge. We recommend you take a Browsing Bolt On if you use these services regularly: Downloading video clips from 3rd party: typically between 1MB and 5MB depending on the length and quality of the clip, plus the cost of the video Note - Downloading video clips/music/games from O2 costs the price of the content only with no additional data charges. Downloading high quality music tracks from 3rd party: typically between 1MB and 5MB per track depending on the length and quality of the track, plus the cost of the track Downloading games from 3rd party: typically 300KB, plus the cost of the game We recommend that you avoid the following on your mobile: Using VOIP** uses 1 MB of data every 3-4 minutes. Downloading full-length movies as this may use in excess of 1,000MB. Using video/ audio streaming devices (e.g. 'Sling box'), which connect your mobile device to your TV, also consume large amounts of data. Watching 15 minutes of TV on your mobile using these devices uses around 25MB. * These figures are based on typical usage. Actual data usage will depend on the content of web pages viewed and the length of emails sent/received. ** Typical VOIP usage is around 5KB per second but will depend on a number of variables including codec and voice sample t

  • ...24 more annotations...
  • Progressive Download is the most widely used
  • easiest to implement
  • Progressive Download is supported by Flash, HTML5 browsers
  • bandwidth is wasted on data downloaded but not watched
  • simplicity of Progressive Download also has its downsides.
  • inability to change the quality of the video mid-stream
  • Progressive Download, RTMP/RTSP Streaming, and Adaptive HTTP Streaming
  • Progressive Download works fine for short clips (a few minutes).
  • RTSP/RTMP Streaming
  • RTMP/RTSP Streaming is widely used by professional media organizations like Hulu
  • if the connection speed drops below the minimum bandwidth needed for the video, playback will be continuously interrupted.
  • most widely solution is used is RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol)
  • HTML5 does not include a dedicated streaming protocol, nor does the iPad/iPhone
  • RTMP streaming can change video quality mid-stream
  • allows for optimal playback quality in the fullscreen and WiFi/3G scenarios
  • only deliver the frames of a video the user is currently watchin
  • has specific server and protocol requirements, which makes it less accessible and adds significant complexity and cost
  • Adaptive HTTP Streaming is a fairly new streaming format
  • Adaptive HTTP Streaming works by storing your videos on the server in small fragment
  • daptive HTTP Streaming leverages standard webservers, it is supported by webhosters and CDNs alike.
  • none of the Adaptive HTTP Streaming implementations work with regular MP4 files.
  • Adaptive HTTP Streaming will likely become the single video streaming method over time
  • live streaming is not possible,
  • o data is downloaded in advance and data a user has seen is immediately discarded.

    How is this tracking collar prototype different from the current tracking technology in use today? It differs greatly because it will remain an open source technology, making it free and easily accessible to the public. This has the effect that if the technology is used by the large community of researchers in Kenya (i.e. lion, elephant or climate researchers) they would be able to share valuable data in real time, rather than delaying the process with incompatible technologies. This would save these foundations large amounts of time and mon
