Network end users to pull down 2 gigabytes a day, continuously?

Yes, the NCTC.

I have spoken with two of the vendors you mentioned. Neither have  
pass-through licensing rights. I still have to go directly to most of  
the content providers to get the proper licensing rights.

There are a few vendors out there who will help a company attain  
these rights, but the solution is not turnkey on licensing. To be  
clear, it is not turnkey for the major U.S. content providers.
