Steam Gets More Bandwidth

Valve Software's Steam Broadband Distribution Client isn't going to eliminate Walmart any time soon, but it is the beginning of a new publishing platform; one that will only grow with broadband penetration. This week finds the company gearing up for the Monday launch of a WW2 game dubbed Day of Defeat by upping their total available bandwidth to 19,585 Mbps (let's hope it works this time). Valve is starting to distribute more than just Half-Life 2 mods and addons: an upcoming FPS Sin will be released via Steam in episodic format.
