Can people with 56k dial-up modems watch streaming video?
Yes, but the viewing experience is, by necessity, very poor. A streaming video optimized for 56k viewers should have a small viewing area (160×120 pixels), and a reduced bit-rate of 39 kbps or less. A progressive download video for 56k users can be of higher quality, but requires a larger file that may require a long time to download.
