Podcast intergrated into next version of Media Player?

I have been listening to what I consider reliable sources, and they indicate that it may well be that the next update of Windows Media layer will have intergrated Podcasting built into it.

If this is true, podcasters beware - your listenership may jump dramatically, and this may a challenge to your bandwidth.

I have begun to deal with this in advance (which I need to do even if this is not true) for my most popular Podcast - RoughMix. My current provider allows me 500 MB of storage and 7.5 Gbytes of bandwidth each month at the free level. As this podcast earns me nothing to date I am not willing to move up to the next level, so I am motivated to keep the levels where they should be.

I have therefore created a secondary site for the original earliest casts at http://roughmix01.podomatic.com There I will add all the earliest episodes until the storage limit is reached. After that I will continue with more of the same in the same format as long as it is available.

If you have questions post them in the comments and they will be addressed.
