If a UA is to use bitrate as a selection criteria, what data should it base the selection on? Would you have it ping the server where the resource is located? If so, how much data should it be required to read?

Well, if there were a choice of bitrates, mobile devices could choose the lowest (assuming the other bitrate versions were all the same format, etc). I'm not sure whether this is something that would be better handled from the server though, to deliver media based on the user agent it can see?<BR>
