yes I know the main thing that makes it broadband is the always on side of it ... but in my book it is NOT broadband because it is to slow to view broadband content (streams).
Yeah, calling it broadband is probably not a good idea but nevertheless it is a service that will be embraced by many if offered. You might not use it but I see no problem giving users some more options.
A lot of the activities done by average user would be more enjoyable with respect to dial-up.
A lot of people are happy just with email, web, shopping, banking, online tax preperation, etc. IM, and occasional song downloads. This constitute over 90% of internet activities that does not demand bandwidth. They are actually happy to go out and do something else then sitting behind the computer most of the day.
Even average internet usage for most geeks are not that high as they think. Really high bandwidth content is not readily available or costly at this moment... |
