narrowcast 

Like broadcast, but the information is aimed at a specific, limited audience. This is usually only possible on a network like the Internet, not with a radio transmitter.

If we're not taling computers, then it's got a small k and means a thousand of whatever follows, eg 1 km = 1000 m, 1 kg = 1000 g etc.

If we are talking about computers or other binary systems, then it refers to 1024 times, and it gets a capital K, e.g 1 Kb = 1024 b, 4KB = 4096 B etc.

Honest, confusing but true.
