EV-DO is clearly not a symmetric technology with download speeds anywhere between 500kbps to 1.5Mbps with 700k being average. The problem is upload speeds measuring in at an underwhelming 200-300kbps, at best. Change the distribution mechanism to one which mitigates the upload bottleneck, such as bittorrent or any other swarm-based tech, and you've reduced one problem area. What gets even more interesting is the implications arising in a real-world peer-to-peer system that allows on-demand content sharing. I believe Wired had an article about something they termed "Roadcasting", but the idea can be generalized to person-to-person content sharing in urban settings. With stable multihop adhoc network connectivity anywhere between 14Mbps-7Mbps, this seems a more likely podcast enabler than 3G technologies. PS: Your automated checks "questionable content" are overly sensitive, causing extreme aggravation... In the event you actually want comments, I'd suggest changing it.
