Hey Fabian, can I throw a question here, there's nothing attached, just pure curiosity. You guys used to donate heaps of bandwidth to Di.FM when it first started. Do you still sponsor streaming services with free transit? It amazed me that you were the silent partner carrying most of their packets completely FOC.
Again, not starting any sort of streaming *anything* just never had the chance to ask someone from AOL that question.
Kudos for sponsoring CentOS

Lee,
FYI, Jacob is with AOL, Fabian is not :) I would suspect this died with the sale of Winamp and Shoutcast to Radionomy. I used to work in the Internet Access and Streaming Operations groups at AOL and yes it was very cool that we offered free bandwidth / streaming. This was mostly due to AOL having plenty of spare bandwidth and their own backbone via ATDN.
