	Multimedia Rocks Virgin Entertainment Group's WAN - Wireless - Network Computing
		If customers at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square are sampling music or video clips at the same time a store employee places a voice-over-IP call to Virgin Entertainment Group North America's corporate headquarters in Los Angeles, the voice on the other end of the line sometimes comes across choppy--or not at all.
		Virgin had previously given voice priority on the WAN pipe, to avoid latency and delay, but even with queuing and prioritization on the MPLS-based WAN, the VoIP call quality suffered when it competed with the Virgin Vaults.
		Virgin's network infrastructure is under more pressure than most retailers because it must support both its operational data as well as entertainment and sampling for its customers.
