[c-nsp] Bandwidth Vs Number of Users

[Rolf Mendelsohn]

Hi Pedro,

Having background as to which part of the world you're in and how scare 
bandwidth generally is in Africa. Aswell as a bit of 'general-use' 
experience.

I would say you should work out about the following:
16K x 500 = 8Mbits (roughly) - More is obviously better, but if there will 
really be 500 Simultaneous Internet users, then I would say anything less 
than 8M would not do well.

cheers
