Very nice!  The only thing that disappoints me a bit is the fact it says
"intranet" and not "internet".

yes, I wondered about that also; perhaps this is so preliminary that they only
know they can make it work on a local network, but not in the wider world. Fingers crossed on that one;

It's all about bandwidth...

No ordinary consumer-type Internet connection would have the bandwidth necessary to handle the data rate the receiver needs. Note the 100baseT designator. They're specifying symmetrical full-duplex 100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity and using both TCP and UDP datagrams.

On a local network this bandwidth (or better) is easily achievable with inexpensive hardware. Typical consumer-type (b or g) wireless networking would not meet the requirement though.
