• eliminating perceived latency in receiving large/binary files by pre-fetching them based on a channel-subscription model.

Some origins: links from Dave Winer's archives - at what point does this really become Pod Casting? Based on my previous point, I'd say from the very beginning

• Oct31'2000 [Virtual Bandwidth] - Adam wants the Internet to be Everyman's broadcast medium, to route around TV and radio broadcast networks, with no compromise in quality.

• Jan11'2001 Payloads For Rss - focused on video

• Jan19'2001 Adam keeps plopping cool stuff into my enclosures folder. This morning I watched a short movie called The Battle of the Sexes.

• Jan29'2003 How to support enclosures

• Jan31'2003 I just watched a movie of Adam's family playing Monopoly from his payload channel.

• Oct7'2003 The recent interviews, Curry, Rosen, Apcar and Jarvis are in the special RSS feed with enclosures.
