If we had progressive JPEG for all JPEGs, low bandwidth networks could request a percentage of the file and save on total data needed to render a page. This could be useful for areas where 2G may be the norm.
- jharger 9y agoI remember some dial-up ISPs doing almost this a few years ago. A friend of mine lived in a rural area, and his dialup provider would show a low-res version of the image. If he clicked on the image, it would load the full version. I think that they would hijack the webpage and do their special image cache thing on a proxy server. It was a really weird experience, but also kind of cool.
