Page Weight Matters
While I appreciate (and agree with) the overall theme (Make your pages light, so people on < 10mbit/second links have access them, opening them up as a market to you - this works well for people on older GPRS/GSM links in the developing world) - I don't understand the math.  Presuming there are parts of the world still stuck in 1997 analog modem technology, then 100 Kilobytes / 56.6 kilobits/second = 14 seconds.<p>At two minutes, there are people out there with 6.6 kilobit links connecting to youtube?<p>I suspect there might be a bit of hyperbole in this article as well, because, even if there were people connecting on ultra slow links, the average latency of those connections is likely to be be wiped out by the tens of millions of broadband links.
