Came across this cool article on eWeek about the online coverage by NBC of the Olympics powered by Microsoft Silverlight, there are some pretty mind-boggling statistics about the use throughput of data and the number of downloads of the plugin.  Here are some numbers from the first four days that caught my eye:

  • Silverlight has been downloaded 8 million times per day
  • 13.5 million video streams active
  • 2.2 million video streams during Athens in 2004
  • That’s 514% growth
  • 16.9 million users of the site
  • On August 11th Silverlight delivered 250TB of data

Nice work guys!
