    From C|Net:

    Apple Computer released a new version of its QuickTime multimedia software on Thursday, adding support for the creation, delivery and playback of video over wireless networks.

    Known as QuickTime 6.5, the upgrade fills out Apple's support for high-speed 3G, or third-generation, wireless networks, according to the company's director of QuickTime product marketing, Frank Casanova.

    QuickTime 6.5 includes native support for the 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2), the media standard used in wireless networks that use CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) 2000. The CDMA standard is one of two major technologies used to create high-speed wireless networks. In July, Apple introduced similar support for the other major high-speed wireless media standard, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), which is used in GSM, or Global System for Mobile Communications, networks.

    From skimming the article, I'm assuming that this is purely for mobile content and 3G, not WiFi - besides, even at 11Mbit, I have no problem running streaming content.
