Comcast's network is NOT being choked by p2p applications. What it IS being choked by: Comcast REFUSING to upgrade their networks like they should, and dragging their feet on the upgrades that they are willing to do.

Not many online website host decent picture quality.
So far I only watch online video and nothing on cable TV except for smallville and 60 minutes.

I tried the fox tv viewer but you must install a tiny plugin but even after that the video was horrible and everything was so fuzzy. Online TV viewing is not very good yet unless you tend to use winamp as the main portal to all your online videos.
So until then I will stick with Winamp and my DVD collection.

Support of Mexico?s Coffee Growers
A commitment to supporting Mexican coffee growers is core to Java Times Caffé?s
corporate vision. Tony currently sources 100 percent of his coffee from growers in
Mexico?s twelve coffee state regions. Each of these regions is promoted through the
retail locations, and 1.5 percent of all revenues from Java Times Caffé?s franchisees and
corporate operations are donated to Niños del Café, a charity focused on improving the
lives of children in Mexico?s coffee growing regions. Tony?s goal with Niños del Café is
to reach the $120,000 per month level of support. This would surpass the financial
support to growers currently provided by the Mexican government.
The Mexican government has already recognized the value of Java Times Caffé?s
support of local coffee growers. Java Times Caffé has qualified for a program where the Mexican government will pay up to one-half of the franchise fee for new franchisees in Mexico that join the Java Times Caffé system.
