   Ah sorry, I meant the kind of data, not the transmission method. No idea if this even makes sense. I meant that you get a image of pixels from them, the resolution does not depend on your receiver. The image pixel quality itself ("colo

    Where is the data? Will full dumps be made available under a permissive license or will we have to hope that "free" and "open" mean "we have an API and might serve you something if we feel like it" as it too
